grap
Grap is a command-line tool used for graph visualization and manipulation. It was developed by Brian Kernighan and Jon Bentley in the late 1970s. Grap allows users to create and edit graphs using a simple language syntax. The tool can generate diagrams, charts, and trees from text input files. It supports various types of graphs, including directed and undirected graphs. Grap can generate output in different formats, such as PostScript or ASCII art. Users can specify node and edge attributes, labels, and colors using the input language. The tool includes features for layout optimization, allowing users to control the appearance of the graph. Grap is commonly used in academic papers, technical documentation, and software engineering to represent structures and dependencies. It is available as part of the Unix operating system and can be used on multiple platforms.
