32 The <application>Graphviz</application> package contains graph
33 visualization software. Graph visualization is a way of representing
34 structural information as diagrams of abstract graphs and networks.
35 <application>Graphviz</application> has several main graph layout
36 programs. It also has web and interactive graphical interfaces, auxiliary
37 tools, libraries, and language bindings.

79 <para>
80 <application>Graphviz</application> basic usage does not need any
81 libraries out of what is found in the LFS book. Its <quote>core</quote>
82 rendering engine allows to generate several graphic formats, such as
83 Postscript, SVG, VML, .fig, and Tk. Those formats can be converted
84 to almost any other format using for example tools from
85 <xref role="nodep" linkend="imagemagick"/>. The dependencies below add
86 the ability to generate graph images in bitmap format, to display the
87 graph image on screen, to edit a graph by viewing the resulting image
88 directly, or to view large graphs. Since
89 <application>Graphviz</application> is a dependency
90 of several other packages in this book, it is suggested to first build
91 it without any dependencies, then to rebuild it when you have built
92 enough packages to suit your needs.
