NAME

       maria-vis - graph visualization script for maria

SYNOPSIS

       maria-vis

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the maria-vis command.

       maria-vis  is  a lefty script invoked by maria in order to visually present information to the user.  The
       script reads commands and directives from standard input and may write maria query language  commands  to
       standard output.  An end-of-file condition on standard input terminates the script.
       The  script  is  built  on  top  of  the dotty script that is part of the GraphViz package.  The commands
       prefixed with visual in maria issue two kinds of commands to this script: new(); or add(); followed by  a
       newline  character  and  a  graph  definition  in the dot input language.  The new function in the script
       displays the graph in a new window, while the add function copies information from the graph to the  last
       modified graph.
