GRAPHVIZ(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual GRAPHVIZ(7)

# [NAME](#NAME)

graphviz - rich set of graph drawing tools

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

This manpage has been written to fulfil the need of a centralized documentation presenting all available tools in the graphviz package.

# [AVAILABLE TOOLS](#AVAILABLE_TOOLS)

## [Graph layout programs](#Graph_layout_programs)

[**dot**](#dot)

filter for hierarchical layouts of graphs

[**neato**](#neato)

filter for symmetric layouts of graphs

[**twopi**](#twopi)

filter for radial layouts of graphs

[**circo**](#circo)

filter for circular layout of graphs

[**fdp**](#fdp)

filter for symmetric layouts of graphs

All of the filters work with either directed or undirected graphs, though **dot** is typically used for directed graphs and **neato** for undirected graphs.

## [Graph layout enhancement](#Graph_layout_enhancement)

[**gvcolor**](#gvcolor)

flow colors through a ranked digraph

[**unflatten**](#unflatten)

adjust directed graphs to improve layout aspect ratio

[**gvpack**](#gvpack)

merge and pack disjoint graphs

## [Graph information and transformation](#Graph_information_and_transformation)

[**gc**](#gc)

count graph components

[**acyclic**](#acyclic)

make directed graph acyclic

[**nop**](#nop)

pretty-print graph file

[**ccomps**](#ccomps)

connected components filter for graphs

[**sccmap**](#sccmap)

extract strongly connected components of directed graphs

[**tred**](#tred)

transitive reduction filter for directed graphs

[**dijkstra**](#dijkstra)

single-source distance filter

[**bcomps**](#bcomps)

biconnected components filter for graphs

[**gvpr**](#gvpr)

graph pattern scanning and processing language

[**prune**](#prune)

prune directed graphs

## [Other](#Other)

[**gxl2dot, dot2gxl**](#gxl2dot,)

GXL-DOT converters

# [AUTHOR](#AUTHOR)

This manual page was written by Cyril Brulebois <cyril.brulebois@enst-bretagne.fr> in november 2006, based on an initial documentation effort by Joachim Berdal Haga <jbh@lupus.ig3.net>. It can be distributed under the same terms as the graphviz package.
