Package: graphviz
Version: 2.8-2.2
Severity: wishlist

It takes some effort to discover what functionality is available, mainly
because of many different programs with no naming consistency and not
very descriptive names. I think a common prefix would help, but 
meanwhile adding something like this to for example README.Debian is an
idea (found by "dpkg -L graphviz" and 19 invocations of "man"):

Graph layout programs
---------------------
dot - filter for drawing directed graphs
neato - filter for drawing undirected graphs
twopi - filter for radial layouts of graphs
circo - filter for circular layout of graphs
fdp - filter for drawing undirected graphs

Graph drawing programs
----------------------
lefty - A Programmable Graphics Editor
lneato - lefty + neato
dotty - lefty + dotty

Graph layout enhancement
-----------------
gvcolor - flow colors through a ranked digraph
unflatten - adjust directed graphs to improve layout aspect ratio
gvpack - merge and pack disjoint graphs

Graph information and transformation
------------------------------------
gc - count graph components
acyclic - make directed graph acyclic
nop - pretty-print graph file
ccomps - connected components filter for graphs
sccmap - extract strongly connected components of directed graphs
tred - transitive reduction filter for directed graphs
dijkstra - single-source distance filter
bcomps - biconnected components filter for graphs
gvpr - graph pattern scanning and processing language
prune - prune directed graphs

Other
-----
gxl2dot,dot2gxl - GXL-DOT converters
