NAME
gvcolor - flow colors through a ranked digraph ( previously known as colorize ) SYNOPSIS
gvcolor [ files ] USAGE
dot file.dot | gvcolor | dot -T<format> DESCRIPTION
gvcolor is a filter that sets node colors from initial seed values. Colors flow along edges from tail to head, and are averaged (as HSB vectors) at nodes. The graph must already have been processed by dot. Appropriate choice of initial colors yields drawings in which node colors help to emphasize logical relationships between nodes, even when they are spread far apart in the layout. Initial colors must be set externally, using the color attribute of a node. It is often effective to assign colors to a few key source or sink nodes, manually setting their colors by editing the graph file. Color names are as in dot(1): symbolic names or RGB triples. It is best to choose some easily-distinguished but related colors; not necessarily spaced evenly around the color wheel. For example, blue_green, green, and light_yellow looks better than red, green, blue. Certain graph attributes control the gvcolor algorithm. flow=back reverses the flow of colors from heads to tails. saturation=.1,.9 (or any two numbers between 0 and 1) adjusts the color saturation linearly from least to greatest rank. If Defcolor is set, this color value is applied to any node not otherwise colored. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. 1 If nodes of the graph do not possess a ``pos'' attribute. BUGS
It would be nice to make the program work without relying on an initial pass through dot. AUTHORS

NAME
sccmap - extract strongly connected components of directed graphs SYNOPSIS
sccmap [-dsv] [ -ooutfile ] [ files ] DESCRIPTION
sccmap decomposes digraphs into strongly connected components and an auxiliary map of the relationship between components. In this map, each component is collapsed into a node. The resulting graphs are printed to standard out. The number of nodes, edges and strongly con- nected components are printed to standard error. sccmap is a way of partitioning large graphs into more manageable pieces. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -d Preserve degenerate components of only one node. -s Do not print the resulting graphs. Only the statistics are important. -S Just print the resulting graphs. No statistics are printed. -ooutput Prints output to the file output. If not given, sccmap uses stdout. -v Generate additional statistics. In particular, sccmap prints the number of nodes, edges, connected components, and strongly con- nected components, followed by the fraction of nodes in a non-trivial strongly connected components, the maximum degree of the graph, and fraction of non-tree edges in the graph. OPERANDS
The following operand is supported: files Names of files containing 1 or more graphs in dot format. If no files operand is specified, the standard input will be used. DIAGNOSTICS
sccmap emits a warning if it encounters an undirected graph, and ignores it. AUTHORS
