graphml2gv: Convert a graph from `gml` to `gv` format.
$ graphml2gv -o ${output-gv} ${input-gml}
try on your machine

The command "graphml2gv" is a command-line tool used to convert GraphML files (a popular format for representing graphs) to Graphviz files (files used by the Graphviz software to visualize graphs).

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "graphml2gv": This is the name of the command-line tool being executed.
  • "-o ${output-gv}": This is an option being passed to the tool. It specifies the output file path for the converted Graphviz file. "${output-gv}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired output file path.
  • "${input-gml}": This is another placeholder that should be replaced with the path to the input GraphML file that needs to be converted.

In summary, the command takes an input GraphML file, converts it to a Graphviz file, and saves the converted file at the specified output file path. The placeholders "${output-gv}" and "${input-gml}" should be replaced with the actual file paths.
