Summary description: Convert graphs generated by Graphviz to LaTeX friendly 
  formats
License type: dfsg

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dot2tex is a tool for converting graphs rendered by Graphviz to formats
that can be used with LaTeX. 

The purpose of dot2tex is to give graphs generated by Graphviz a more 
LaTeX friendly look and feel. This is accomplished by converting xdot 
output from Graphviz to a series of TikZ and PGF, or PSTricks commands. 
This approach allows:

    * Typesetting labels with LaTeX, allowing mathematical notation.
    * Using native PSTricks and PGF/TikZ commands for drawing arrows.
    * Using backend specific styles to customize the output
