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.
