Create Visual Sitemaps Using GraphViz DOT Files

Visual graph data files using the GraphViz "dot" format can be imported into a wide range of tools used for visualizing data structures.

Description of GraphViz DOT Sitemap Files

GraphViz is a tool consisting of a collection of graph visualization renders using the text file data format DOT for defining these. The usual file extension is .gv.

GraphViz itself is mostly for command-line usage, but you can also try:

  • Gephi which understands many data formats.
  • Cytoscape - requires the dot-app module.
