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.
