The graph visualization tools from AT&T/Bell Laboratories are now available
in the outland locker for Linux, NetBSD, Solaris and Irix.  These tools 
allow you to generate directed and undirected graphs interactively and 
non-interactively. These can be extremely useful for drawing module
dependency diagrams for classes like 6.170 and 6.035.

To run:
   add outland 
   dot		# batch program for drawing directed graphs as hierarchies
   neato	# batch program for drawing undirected graphs using
		# Kamada-Kawai spring models
   dotty	# customizable X windows directed graph viewer/editor
   lneato	# customizable X windows undirected graph viewer/editor

You really should read the documentation before using these tools. 
man pages are installed for these programs, and extensive documentation
can be found in /mit/outland/doc/graphviz.

Enjoy!
