4. Technical Description:
4.1. Details:
Graphviz is an open-source graph visualization application. It
includes a set of layout programs and libraries that take text
representations of graphs and output them in one of several graphical
file formats. It also includes tools for displaying and editing the
graphs.
It can be used stand-alone, but is typically used by other
applications, such as the documentation generator doxygen, where it
is used to generate class hierarchy diagrams.
Graphviz accepts input in the DOT Language format, a simple
plaintext format for representating graphs. A trivial example
might be:
graph example
{
a -- b;
a -- c;
}
which represents an undirected graph where object `a' is connected
to object `b' and also to object `c'.
The main graph-drawing filter program is called `dot', which draws
directed graphs (with directional arrows between connected objects).
In addition, there are four other graph-drawing programs:
neato - filter for drawing undirected graphs
twopi - filter for radial layouts of graphs
circo - filter for circular layout of graphs
fdp - filter for drawing undirected graphs
These are all implemented as symlinks to `dot'.
Graphviz also provides the following programs for manipulating graphs:
acyclic - make directed graph acyclic
bcomps - biconnected components filter for graphs
ccomps - connected components filter for graphs
diffimg - diff two graph images
dijkstra - single-source distance filter
gxl2dot,dot2gxl - GXL-DOT converters
(dot2gxl is a symlink to gxl2dot)
dotty - A Customizable Graph Editor
gc - count graph components
gvcolor - flow colors through a ranked digraph
gvpack - merge and pack disjoint graphs
gvpr - graph pattern scanning and processing language
lefty - A Programmable Graphics Editor
lneato - A Customizable Graph Editor
nop - pretty-print graph file
prune - Prune directed graphs
sccmap - extract strongly connected components
tred - transitive reduction filter for directed graphs
unflatten - improve layout aspect ratio
Scripting support is provided for the following languages:
Perl
Python
Tcl (and Tk)
Dot uses an extensible plugin mechanism for its output renderers. The
file /usr/lib/graphviz/config defines which formats are available.
If additional, supported file format libraries are installed, `dot -c`
can be run to rebuild the config file to include the new format.
This proposal will add graphviz version 2.20.2, the latest stable
version.

4.6. Doc Impact:
Graphviz includes over 30 community provided man pages covering almost
all the commands, libraries and script-language extensions plus an
overall introductory man page. The only missing man page is for the
diffimg command, for which a Sun provided man page will be written.
There are also additional community provided user docs in HTML and PDF
and demo programs.
4.7. Admin/Config Impact:
"dot -c" may be run (by a user with write permission for
/usr/lib/graphviz/config) to re-generate the graphviz plugin
configuration file. This would typically be done when new software
that provides one of the supported graphical formats is installed.
4.8. HA Impact:
None.
4.9. I18N/L10N Impact:
The JDS and G11N teams are working together to evaluate and
provide I18N/L10N support.
4.10. Packaging & Delivery:
Adds two new packages, SUNgraphviz (approx 15 Mb) and
SUNWgraphviz-devel (approv 3 Mb).
4.11. Security Impact:
None.
4.12. Dependencies:
Graphviz depends of the software listed in the Imported
Interfaces section.
ARC contracts are already in place between the suppliers of freetype
and libexpat and other components in JDS. The contract owners have
been contacted regarding updating those contracts to include
graphviz as a consumer.
