VCG visualization

Hello all,

I am on a Mac and I would like to know if anybody has any
suggestion
on a free software to visualize vcg files resulting from
bison output
or convert them to a bitmap file.

Cheers,

I find graphviz useful for this kind of thing
http://www.graphviz.org/

Hello Derek,

I do know and use graphviz regularly for my graph work but I
thought
it only worked with the dot format. Is there a way to
convert VCG to
dot or is there a way to open VCG natively which I am not
aware of?

It has always struck me that it ought to be possible to
write an
awk script to create a workable translation, but I have
never tried
to write one.

There do seem to be some tools out there (never tried any of
them)

I found yaccviso http://lo-res.org/
~aaron/yaccviso/ .  It looks  
directly at the .y file and generates a dot file.  It won't
compile  
on your mac without a small change:

 -26,7
+26,7 
   * descr.:
   */

-#include <malloc.h>
+#include <stdlib.h>
  #include "global.h"

  typedef struct memmap memmap;
-----------------------8<--------------------------------

The current CVS Bison will generate dot files instead of VCG
files. This
change was made some time ago (
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-pat
ches/2006-10/msg00047.html), but
has not yet found it's way into a release version.

Thanks a lot... this is definitely a nice feature. dot is
more
mainstream than vcg.
