NAME
gml2gv - GML-DOT converter
SYNOPSIS
gml2gv [ -?v ] [ -ggname ] [ -ooutfile ] [ files ]
DESCRIPTION
gml2gv converts a graph specified in the GML 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, gml2gv
uses stdout.
The following operand is supported:
files Names of files containing 1 or more graphs in GML.
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
significantly, the conversion is at best approximate. In
particular, it is not clear how multiedges are differenti-
ated in GML, so multiedges are created in GV with no user-
available key. Also, no attribute information is lost, in
that any GML attributes that aren't converted to GV equiva-
lents are retained as attributes in the output graph.
