So, Anyone playing with the graph files yet? Just wondering if anyone has discovered a really good set of parameters to pass to dot to get the best looking graphs (OmniGraffle looks nice but I don''t want to pay for anything and want a way to generate graphics from the command-line). -- DK

This will give you anti-aliased fonts, amongst a number of other things. There''s more information on the graphviz.org site, sorry I''m too lazy to search myself. :) -- Erik Hollensbe erik@hollensbe.org

Graphviz seems to put things are the same "rank" at the same height so it has to be superwide. I guess I''ll have to jump on their list and see if people can help me find a way to stagger it so its a bit easier to read. Still, I love this graphing thing.
