GRAPHML2GV(1) General Commands Manual GRAPHML2GV(1)
NAME
graphml2gv - GRAPHML-DOT converter
SYNOPSIS
graphml2gv [ -?v ] [ -ggname ] [ -ooutfile ] [ files ]
DESCRIPTION
graphml2gv converts a graph specified in the GRAPHML format to a graph
in the GV (formerly DOT) format.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-v Turns on verbose mode
-? Prints usage information and exits.
-ggname
The string gname is used as the name of the generated graph. If
multiple graphs are generated, subsequent graphs use the name
gname appended with an integer.
-ooutfile
Prints output to the file outfile. If not given, graphml2gv uses
stdout.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
files Names of files containing 1 or more graphs in GRAPHML. If no
files operand is specified, the standard input will be used.
RETURN CODES
Return 0 if there were no problems during conversion; and non-zero if
any error occurred.
LIMITATIONS
As both the graph and graphics models of GV and GML differ signifi-
cantly, the conversion can only be at best approximate. In particular,
GV currently has no notion of hyperedges or edges containing graphs.
At present, graphml2gv only supports the basic graph topology. Specifi-
cally, the <KEY> and <DATA> elements are not handled, though they could
be.
