graphviz for Debian
-------------------

* Various examples are available in the graphviz-doc package,
shipped under /usr/share/doc/graphviz/examples. It might be needed
to adjust some paths to make the demo scripts work out of the box,
patches are welcome.
* One might also be interested in the contrib/ directory of the
source package. Note that starting with 2.16.1-1, the diffimg
utility is built and shipped in the graphviz package.
* Original notes about packages suggested by graphviz:
- The msttcorefonts package is suggested so that TrueType fonts
are available if necessary.
- The gsfonts package is suggested in case X isn't installed,
since it contains default fonts.
* Those notes were kept verbatim and probably need an update, like
the package relationships themselves. Comments are welcome in the
meanwhile.
* A “global” manpage (graphviz.7) is available so that one can
easily find all graphviz-related binaries and their role. Thanks
again to Joachim Berdal Haga for having
proposed such a list.
* For references, from the 2.12-4 upload (Thu, 09 Aug 2007): Java
and C# bindings (#360970 and #360977) are not planned at the
moment, given the restrictions on the architectures on which they
are available. Anyway, any tested patch is welcome to add them.
