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.

102 <para>
103 <application>Graphviz</application> basic usage does not need any
104 libraries out of what is found in the LFS book. Its <quote>core</quote>
105 rendering engine allows to generate several graphic formats, such as
106 Postscript, SVG, VML, .fig, and Tk. Those formats can be converted
107 to almost any other format using for example tools from
108 <xref role="nodep" linkend="imagemagick"/>. The dependencies below add
109 the ability to generate graph images in bitmap format, to display the
110 graph image on screen, to edit a graph by viewing the resulting image
111 directly, or to view large graphs. Since
112 <application>Graphviz</application> is a dependency
113 of several other packages in this book, it is suggested to first build
114 it without any dependencies, then to rebuild it when you have built
115 enough packages to suit your needs.
