I think that technically, the GraphViz approach is cleaner. The layout
engine is in a separate program, called "dot", which acts purely as a
filter.
I wish there was an easy-to-extend free piece of software that provides a
graphical user interface based on vectorised graphic objects. This
software could serve as a front-end to many visualisers, not only for
graphs but also e.g. for message sequence charts.
One starting point could be JHotDraw (http://www.jhotdraw.org/), but I
have the impression that it focusses on interactive editing of graphical
diagrams, which is not at all needed in this application.
