Graphviz is very useful for visualizing large graphs. You can learn to use it effectively in under five minutes. It's also very easy to transform CSV data into graphviz markup by piping it through one or two sed scripts.


Where can you learn to use it effectively in under five minutes?


Assuming you have dot installed:

Also, these are useful:

Another good example is in the book Land of Lisp. Chapter 7 and 8 makes a game, Hunt the Wumpus, using Graphviz:

Chapter 8 is even available as a free download:
