Graphviz - Graph Visualization Software
Source Code
Source code for the latest stable and development versions of Graphviz are available, along with instructions for CVS anonymous access to the sources. Also see build notes.Notes on how to build Graphviz on Windows. N.B. Except in rare cases, such as a desire to modify the core Graphviz code, there is no need to build Graphviz on Windows from source. We strongly recommend that one should just install one of the available binary packages from here. If you insist, we will answer questions but basically you are on your own.

Java Support
Grappa is a separate Java graph library and user interface that works with Graphviz. It was written by John Mocenigo in our lab. It calls Graphviz programs for remote layout service. Grappa can run as a browser applet (if you can resolve the Java plugin nightmare on your own) and it provides convenient graph programming classes. Grappa is no longer active work, so we are not planning major improvements or difficult bug fixes - caveat emptor.In our experience with Grappa applications, we encountered many problems in trying to get applets to run under the various incompatible versions of Java extant (didn't Sun hire any engineers who believe in backward compatibility?) and we found performance problems when working with graphs of many hundreds or thousands of objects. Our work on Yoix is a new attack to these engineering problems. Yoix itself is a web application language, and is not Graphviz-aware. So, the base system it is not a replacement for Grappa. Instead, we are working on a Graphviz extension module that loads in Yoix. We plan to release this extension to Yoix in late 2005 or 2006.
Third-Party (non-AT&T) Executable Packages
Please contact us if you can offer a platform we don't have, or you've improved on what's here.We list these links as a courtesy, but disclaim responsibility for the contents of these software products.
Linux
Debian package
Ubuntu Hardy,

Fedora extras 3

development (aka 7)
packages.
Mac OS X
Standalone installer packages
of latest stable versions and nightly snapshots. (For testing the new
smyrna viewer: the MacPorts prerequisites are, at least,
gtkglext and libglade. This will bring in scads of other
packages, probably including new versions of perl, python, ssh, and multimedia
players, in case you ever want to replace your entire OSX desktop with Gnome.
Hey you just might! If you check out code from cvs, also install a new
automake to generate a working configure script.)
MacPorts
Latest stable version of Graphviz for Mac OS X
Pixelglow Graphviz
An enhanced GUI application for Mac OS X based on Graphviz 1.13 (out of date, not maintained)
Windows
WinGraphviz Win32/COM object (dot/neato library for Visual Basic and ASP).
Fonts
FreeType-compatible. We provide these as a courtesy, only for compatibility on legacy Unix systems that lack native fonts.
