It attempts to read the same .dot files used by graphviz, but currently only supports a limited number of node attributes (label and fillcolor). I am open to requests for support for more graph/node/edge attributes. I have used neato quite a lot since September of 2000, when I started writing programs to convert apache log files, gpg/pgp keyring signature relationships, and C include relationships to .dot files to be graphed with neato. +Springgraph was written as an alternative to neato, which is part of +graphviz.
