Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-08-05 Severity: wishlist * Package name : springgraph Version : 0.79 Upstream Author : [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.chaosreigns.com/code/springgraph/ * License : GPL Description : A graph renderer
Springgraph will read in a .dot file description of a graph, which, for each node, specifies its name and which other nodes it is connected to, and then renders a graph. Each node is drawn as an ellipse, and each connection is drawn as an arrow. The node placement is a result of all of the nodes moving away from each other, while all nodes which are connected move toward each other. This movement is repeated until it stabilizes. Comment: A free replacment for the non-free graph-rendering package graphviz would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, springgraph is not (yet ?) a drop-in replacement for graphviz. Still, it can be useful for certain applications. One of the applications mentioned on springgraph home page, for instance, is visualisation of the debian keyring (though I didn't yet check for myself). -Ralf. --
