Linguine Maps is object-oriented API to Graphviz. Graphviz uses domain-specific language called DOT to represent graphs. This language looks simple at first, but quickly gets very complicated as you add more features to the graph drawing. You can see simple example of a graph defined in DOT language to learn more.

Linguine Maps allows you to focus on programmatic visualization of graphs without worrying about complexity of Graphviz DOT file format. Linguine Maps operates with Java objects that represent nodes and edges in the diagram. A formal representation of a drawing is converted into Graphviz DOT language behind the scenes. You can see simple example of Linguine Maps object-oriented API to learn more. For your convenience, official binaries of Graphviz 2.4 are included with Linguine Maps distribution.

The power of Graphviz is in space-time-efficient graph layout. The power of Linguine Maps is in programmatic visualization of structured data for software engineering.
