GraphViz Tutorial for The Uninitiated

This is not a tutorial per se. But, it's an example of how a complex graph can be generated by GraphViz DOT. You need to head over to  https://github.com/pinczakko/GraphViz-Samples for the source code. But, for the impatient, this is the result:

Rather complex graph generated from GraphViz DOT

At least this sample shows you how powerful GraphViz is, after investing even just a couple of hours learning the ropes. The bonus is, you can combine your GraphViz DOT code to your Doxygen comments and generate the graph in your code documentation. Isn't that powerful? Head over to http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/manual/diagrams.html for that.

Hopefully, this ease the pain creating your code documentation ;-)
