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.
