Graphviz
Graphviz is an open source graph visualization software that you can download
software, but is still very actively used and developed. It provides several main layout
programs and also features web and interactive graphical interfaces, as well as helper
tools, libraries, and language bindings. The core Graphviz team claims not to be able
to put a lot of work into GUI editors, but there are quite a few external projects and
even commercial tools that incorporate Graphviz.
The Graphviz layout programs take descriptions of graphs in a simple text
language and create diagrams in useful formats, for example, images and SVG
for web pages and PDF or Postscript for inclusion in other documents or display
in an interactive graph browser.
Graphviz has many useful features for concrete diagrams, such as options for
colors, fonts, tabular node layouts, line styles, hyperlinks, and custom shapes.
