+graphviz is a set of graph drawing tools for Unix or MS-Windows
+(win32), including a web service interface (webdot). 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
