       <?
       include("gv.php")

USAGE
INTRODUCTION
       gv_php  is  a dynamically loaded extension for php that provides access
       to the graph facilities of graphviz.


COMMANDS
       New graphs

       New empty graph
              graph_handle gv::graph (name);

       which will be induced in the graph if it doesn't already exist
              edge_handle gv::edge (tail_node_handle, head_name);
