Recently I’ve come to know a fairly unique piece of software called GraphViz. Its short for Graph Visualization Software and according to the page on Wikipeida it was initialy released back in 1991. What caught my attention in particular about GraphViz is the succient way it allows you to produce elaborate graphs by scripting lines of the DOT language. You can then use a small assortment of readily made graphing tools to transform your DOT files into full images. All of this got me thinking… why did I put up with overly complex GUI tools with bells and whistles when a rather basic DOT file can accomplish the same task?
