Hi Samir,

Thanks for the invite.  I will look at your graph package sometime
this week and see what you got going on, but does your graph package
layout graphs automatically?

The biggest thing I need in something like GraphViz is that it lays
out graphs using well known algorithms that search for the optimal
layout for nodes and edges.

We are using GraphViz's layout engine to layout graphs with literally
thousands of nodes and tens of thousands of edges.

How does that kind of feature and scaling requirement fit into your
graph package?

Regards,

John
