NAME
gvmap.sh - pipeline for running gvmap
SYNOPSIS
gvmap.sh [-vV?] [ options ] [ -o outfile ] [ files ]
DESCRIPTION
gvmap.sh takes as input a graph in DOT format, performs an
layout, runs the output through gvmap and renders the out-
put. At some point, it is hoped to integrate all of these
tasks into gvmap.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a k The integer k specifies the average number of artifi-
cial points added along the bounding box of the labels.
Such artificial points are added to avoid a country
boundary cutting through the boundary box of the
labels. Computing time is proportional to k; hence, for
large graphs, a small value of k is suggested. If k =
-1, a suitable value of k is automatically selected
based on the graph size. By default k = -1.
-K layout
specifies which program should be use for the initial
layout. By default, sfdp is run. Also by default, the
layout is passed the flag -Goverlap=prism. This can be
overridden using a -g flag.
-T format
specifies the final output format. This works the same
way as the -T flag for any Graphviz layout program.
-N attr=val
specifies the setting of a default node attribute dur-
ing the rendering phase. This works the same way as the
-N flag for any Graphviz layout program.
-G attr=val
specifies the setting of a graph attribute during the
rendering phase. This works the same way as the -G flag
for any Graphviz layout program.
-E attr=val
specifies the setting of a default edge attribute dur-
ing the rendering phase. This works the same way as the
-E flag for any Graphviz layout program.
-n attr=val
specifies the setting of a default node attribute dur-
ing the layout phase. This works the same way as the -N

User Commands GVMAP.SH(1)
flag for any Graphviz layout program.
-g attr=val
specifies the setting of a graph attribute during the
layout phase. This works the same way as the -G flag
for any Graphviz layout program.
-e attr=val
specifies the setting of a default edge attribute dur-
ing the layout phase. This works the same way as the -E
flag for any Graphviz layout program.
-A flag
specifies a flag to be passed to gvmap. For example,
gvmap.sh -Ae -As3 causes gvmap -e -s3 to be run.
-v Set verbose mode.
-V Print version information and exit.
-? Print usage information and exit.
EXAMPLES
The following invocation creates a map with edges in semi-
transparent light gray and nodes laid out using sfdp:
gvmap.sh -Ae -Ecolor=#55555522 -Tpng foo.gv > foo.png
It is equivalent to running the pipeline
sfdp -Goverlap=prism foo.gv | gvmap -e | neato -n2
-Ecolor=#55555522 -Tpng > foo.png
