Bug#155662: ITP: springgraph -- a graph renderer
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-08-05
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : springgraph

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).
