botch-graph-tred - find the transitive reduction of a graph in GraphML or dot
format
-
botch-graph-tred [options] [ingraph]
[outgraph]
Create a graph with as few edges as possible while maintaining the same
reachability relationships.
Calculating the transitive reduction particularly helps to facilitate rendering
of dense graphs as it removes the clutter of extra edges.
This tool is the does the same as
tred(1) from the graphviz suite but for
the GraphML and dot input instead of only for dot input. It is also orders of
magnitude faster (for unknown reasons).
If either (or both) of the positional arguments is/are omitted, then read
GraphML or dot from standard input and/or write GraphML or dot to standard
output, respectively. Passing a '-' as either argument, explicitly specifies
to read the input from standard input and write the output to standard output,
respectively.
The input graph type will be determined automatically. If the output graph is
given as a filename, then the output type will be GraphML if the filename ends
with .xml and dot if the filename ends with .dot. If the output is done on
standard output then it will happen in the same format as the input graph.
