+Graphviz is open source graph visualization software. It has several main
+graph layout programs. It also has web and interactive graphical interfaces,
+and auxiliary tools, libraries, and language bindings.
+
+Graph visualization is a way of representing structural information as diagrams
+of abstract graphs and networks. Automatic graph drawing has many important
+applications in software engineering, database and web design, networking, and
+in visual interfaces for many other domains.
+
+This requires SWIG for building language bindings (available at
+SlackBuilds.org).
