The VCG tool reads a textual and readable specification of a
|
|
|
|
|
graph and visualizes the graph. If not all positions of
|
|
|
|
|
nodes are fixed, the tool layouts the graph using several
|
|
|
|
|
heuristics as reducing the number of crossings, minimizing
|
|
|
|
|
the size of edges, centering of nodes. The specification
|
|
|
|
|
language of the VCG tool is nearly compatible to GRL, the
|
|
|
|
|
language of the edge tool, but contains many extensions. The
|
|
|
|
|
VCG tool allows folding of dynamically or statically speci-
|
|
|
|
|
fied regions of the graph. It uses colors and runs on
|
|
|
|
|
X11. (An older version runs on Sunview).
