I did take a look at the "dot" tool - but it tends to produce utterly 
horrid graphs. I mean, *astonishingly* bad graphs.

So I set about attempting to write my own. But, while it does strictly 
speaking _work_, it leaves a lot to be desired. (A particular problem is 
overlapping lines.)

The trouble is, I want to draw some graphs. Building a graph drawing 
engine is only a secondary goal; the major goal is building the program 
that produces the graphs in the first place. So I'm trying to do it 
quickly... but I want it to look reasonable. Hmm.
