+               graphviz is a set of graph drawing tools for Unix or MS-Windows
+               (win32), including a web service interface (webdot). Source code and
+               binary executables for common platforms are available. Graph drawing
+               addresses the problem of visualizing structural information by
+               constructing geometric representations of abstract graphs and networks.
+               Automatic generation of graph drawings has important applications in key
+               technologies such as database design, software engineering, VLSI and
+               network design and visual interfaces in other domains. Situations where
+               these tools might be particularly useful include:
+
+               * you would like to restructure a program and first need to
+               understand the relationships between its types, procedures, and source
+               files.
+               * you need to find the bottlenecks in an Internet backbone - not
+               only individual links, but their relationships
+               * you're debugging a protocol or microarchitecture represented as a
+               finite state machine and need to figure out how a certain error state arises
+               * you would like to browse a database schema, knowledge base, or
+               distributed program represented pictorially
+               * you would like to see an overview of a collection of linked
+               documents
+               * you would like to discover patterns and communities of interest in
+               a database of telephone calls or e-mail messages
