Hello,
Is there any documentation for graphopt, other than the README and the main web page?

My situation is this: we have been using graphviz in a non-interactive (web service) application. Web users browsing a data repository can view certain data in a variety of formats, all generated automatically from the same data sources. A graph is one of those formats. The users are not interested in interactively editing a graph, and will not have unix/X11 running on their machines, so (as I assume) can't run graphopt themselves. We could run graphopt on a server, if it has a fully-automatic mode that doesn't require user interaction.

The web page says, "For most graphs, this is all that is needed - hit 'go' and the graph organizes itself much as the analagous real-life system would if constrained to two dimensions." So maybe a fully-automatic mode would do a good-enough job much of the time.

Also, I see "edge labels" on the TO-DO list. This is a requirement for us. Is anybody still developing graphopt?

Thanks,
Lars
