     104        <application>Graphviz</application> basic usage does not need any
     105        libraries out of what is found in the LFS book. Its <quote>core</quote>
     106        rendering engine allows to generate several graphic formats, such as
     107        Postscript, SVG, VML, .fig, and Tk. Those formats can be converted
     108        to almost any other, using for example tools from <xref role="nodep"
     109        linkend="imagemagick"/>. The dependencies below add the ability to
     110        generate graph images in bitmap format, to display the graph image on
     111        screen, to edit a graph by seeing directly the result image, or to view
     112        large graphs. Since <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.
