Abstract
Directed graphs are ubiquitous in most aspects of software analysis. Presented abstractly, as a list of edges, a graph does not manifest much of the important structural information that becomes obvious if the graph is displayed pictorially. This paper presents a technique for drawing directed graphs quickly and attractively. It also describes how a tool implementing this technique has been used, in conjunction with other programming and analysis tools, in various aspects of software engineering
