Graphviz 2.20.3

The Macintosh port of the automated graph layout software, featuring a new document-based GUI, export to PDF and many more bitmap formats, full alpha transparency, native font and shapefile support and anti-aliasing.

If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, take Graphviz to the next level with our new product, Instaviz. We are now available on the App Store! Instaviz uses advanced shape recognition to turn your finger sketches into beautiful Graphviz graphs.

Graphviz 1.12 (v11) won Best Mac OS X Open Source Product and was runner-up in Best Product to Mac OS X in the 2004 Apple Design Awards.

With AT&T Graphviz, you don’t figure out the graph, the program does. Using a simple file format called dot, just describe which nodes should connect to which other nodes. Then the sophisticated layout routines quickly render it into many different output formats.

You get these distinctives with the Mac OS X version:

Document-based GUI with the Macintosh look-and-feel:
- Preview and zoom graphs, from 12.5% to 800%.
- Pan the graph with the hand cursor.
- Tweak settings with a drawerful of switches and component defaults, and see the effect immediately.
- Can’t figure out a setting? Tooltips to the rescue...
- Choose fonts and colors with the integrated font and color panels.
- Print and export graphs using familiar menu commands.
- Click to edit the file, then save it and the changes are automatically picked up.
- Check the activity window for the actual command line calls.
- Open files or portions of text as graphs from other applications.
- Remember settings for the next graph, or change settings via the command line.
