exceptionally useful node;

one point i feel could use additional emphasis, is that yes, graphviz is easier to use, but for large graphs, it is also much the better vizualization tool, the graphviz algorithms being able to cope with much bigger graphs. even mathematica, in my experience, is less good at graph vizualization than graphviz.

additinally, while it is applicable to code design, graphviz has particularly big ramifications for the depiction of large graphs, ie: telephone networks, neural nets, bayesian nets, combinatorial trees etc.

anyway, have dot, dotty, neato, graphviz, etc on my box, but have failed to use them with perl. now i have no excuse. thanks again.

regards

wufnik

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
