Hi,

GraphViz is alreary used by Plant UML to produce output PNG file, see
'image generation chain' below:
* umlgen.py walks through MuranoPL class(es) and generated temporary file
which contains Plant UML definitions for the entire graph
* Plant UML is called with that file as input
* Plant UML processes input file somehow and uses GraphViz to build output
