NAME

graphml2gv - GRAPHML-DOT converter

SYNOPSIS

graphml2gv [ -?v ] [ -ggname ] [ -ooutfile ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

graphml2gv converts a graph specified in the GRAPHML format to a
graph in the GV (formerly DOT) format.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-v Turns on verbose mode

-? Prints usage information and exits.

-ggname
The string gname is used as the name of the generated graph.
If multiple graphs are generated, subsequent graphs use the
name gname appended with an integer.

-ooutfile
Prints output to the file outfile. If not given, graphml2gv
uses stdout.

OPERANDS

The following operand is supported:

files Names of files containing 1 or more graphs in GRAPHML. If no
files operand is specified, the standard input will be used.

RETURN CODES

Return 0 if there were no problems during conversion; and non-zero if
any error occurred.

LIMITATIONS

As both the graph and graphics models of GV and GML differ
significantly, the conversion can only be at best approximate. In
particular, GV currently has no notion of hyperedges or edges
containing graphs.

At present, graphml2gv only supports the basic graph topology.
Specifically, the <KEY> and <DATA> elements are not handled, though
they could be.
