really bad name for "dot", it has always been the graphviz interface

  Indeed, and graphviz's dot is really useful, too. It makes it really easy to make all sorts of graphs. For example, if I wanted to make a dependency graph of all the packages I have installed in Archlinux, I can use it like this: pacman -Qq | xargs -r pacman -Qi | awk ' BEGIN { print "digraph deps {" } /^Name/ { n = $3 } /^Depends On/ { for (i = 4; i <= NF; i++) print " \"" n "\" -> \"" $i "\";" } END { print "}" } ' | dot -Tsvg > package-deps.svg
