Graphviz.md
  1. Install Graphviz on your machine
  2. Create a script called graph with the following contents:
#!/bin/sh

dot -T pdf | open -a /Applications/Preview.app -f

Create a simple graph using Graphviz notation and place in graph.txt:

digraph project {
  a -> b -> c
}

Generate the graph and view with the PDF Viewer:

cat graph.txt | graph

And you will see the simple graph visually.
