Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package springgraph, which
is part of the graphics section, and maintained by Christoph Berg
<myon at debian.org>. 

This package contains : creates a graph from a .dot file (neato
alternative).

Springgraph will read in a .dot file description of a graph, which,
for each node, specifies its name and which other nodes it is
connected to, and then renders a graph. Each node is drawn as an
ellipse, and each connection is drawn as an arrow. The node placement
is a result of all of the nodes moving away from each other, while
all nodes which are connected move toward each other. This movement
is repeated until it stabilizes.

Springgraph was written as an alternative to neato, which is part of
graphviz. It attempts to read the same .dot files used by graphviz,
but currently only supports a limited number of node attributes
(label and fillcolor).
