Yes, and this info is also present in the XML output, so if you know how
to parse XML (scripting languages such as perl and python can do this 
conveniently) you can easily generate such a graph using dot. I have plans 
to write such a tool as an example of using the XML output, but also have 
enough other things to do, so if anyone wants to do this, please let me know.
