I am pleased to announce the release of dot2tex, a tool for converting
graphs rendered by Graphviz to PSTricks code (or PGF/TikZ code).

The purpose of dot2tex is to give graphs generated by Graphviz a more
LaTeX friendly look and feel. This is accomplished by converting xdot
output from Graphviz to a series of PSTricks or PGF/TikZ commands.
This approach allows:

    * Typesetting labels with LaTeX, allowing mathematical notation.
    * Using native PSTricks commands for drawing arrows (optional).

The tool is written in Python and is available for download at:

Examples of the output from dot2tex can be found at:

Dot2tex is an experimental tool with much room for improvements. I had
fun writing it. Hopefully others will find it useful too. Feedback and
bug reports are appreciated.
