Source code and +binary executables for common platforms are available. Graph drawing +addresses the problem of visualizing structural information by +constructing geometric representations of abstract graphs and networks. +Automatic generation of graph drawings has important applications in key +technologies such as database design, software engineering, VLSI and +network design and visual interfaces in other domains. Situations where +these tools might be particularly useful include: + + * you would like to restructure a program and first need to +understand the relationships between its types, procedures, and source +files. + * you need to find the bottlenecks in an Internet backbone - not +only individual links, but their relationships + * you're debugging a protocol or microarchitecture represented as a +finite state machine and need to figure out how a certain + error state arises + * you would like to browse a database schema, knowledge base, or +distributed program represented pictorially + * you would like to see an overview of a collection of linked +documents + * you would like to discover patterns and communities of interest in +a database of telephone calls or e-mail messages +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
