NAME
       gml2gv,gv2gml - GML-DOT converters


SYNOPSIS
       gml2gv [ -?v ] [ -ggname ] [ -ooutfile ] [ files ]
       gv2gml [ -?  ] [ -ooutfile ] [ files ]


DESCRIPTION
       gml2gv  converts  a graph specified in the GML format to a graph in the GV (formerly DOT) format.  gv2gml
       converts a graph specified in the GV format to a graph in the GML format.


OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -v     Turns on verbose mode

       -?     Prints usage information and exits.

       -ggname
              The string gname is used as the name of the generated graph.  If multiple  graphs  are  generated,
              subsequent graphs use the name gname appended with an integer.

       -ooutfile
              Prints output to the file outfile. If not given, gml2gv uses stdout.

       OPERANDS
              The following operand is supported:

       files   Names  of  files  containing  1  or  more  graphs  in GML.  If no files operand is specified, the
               standard input will be used.


RETURN CODES
       Return 0 if there were no problems during conversion; and non-zero if any error occurred.


LIMITATIONS
       As both the graph and graphics models of GV and GML differ  significantly,  the  conversion  is  at  best
       approximate.  In  particular, it is not clear how multiedges are differentiated in GML, so multiedges are
       created in GV with no user-available key. Also, no  attribute  information  is  lost,  in  that  any  GML
       attributes that aren't converted to GV equivalents are retained as attributes in the output graph.

       At  present,  gv2gml  does not support subgraphs and clusters. In addition, there does not appear to be a
       standard mechanism for specifying default node and edge attributes in GML, so any attributes are repeated
       for every node and edge.
