Graphviz

Graphviz consists of a graph description language named the DOT language[4] and a set of tools that can generate and/or process DOT files:

dot

a command-line tool to produce layered drawings of directed graphs in a variety of output formats, such as (PostScript, PDF, SVG, annotated text and so on).

neato

for "spring model" layout (in Mac OS version called "energy minimised")

sfdp

a layout engine for undirected graphs that scales to very large graphs.

fdp

another layout engine for undirected graphs.

twopi

for radial graph layouts.

circo

for circular graph layouts.

dotty

a graphical user interface to visualize and edit graphs.

lefty

a programmable (in a language inspired by EZ[5]) widget that displays DOT graphs and allows the user to perform actions on them with the mouse. Therefore, Lefty can be used as the view in a model–view–controller GUI application that uses graphs.

gml2gv - gv2gml

convert to/from GML, another graph file format.

graphml2g

convert a GraphML file to the DOT format.

gxl2gv - gv2gxl

convert to/from GXL, another graph file format.
