+<HR>
+All Graphviz programs have a similar invocation:<BR>
+<TABLE><TR><TD>
+<CODE><I>cmd</I> [ <I>flags</I> ] [ <I>input files</I> ]<CODE>
+</TR></TABLE>
+If no input files are supplied, the program reads from <STRONG>stdin</STRONG>.
+<H3>Flags</H3>
+<DL>
+<DT><STRONG>-G</STRONG><I>name</I>[=<I>value</I>]
+<DD>Set a graph attribute, with default <I>value</I> = <TT>true</TT>.
+<DT><STRONG>-N</STRONG><I>name</I>[=<I>value</I>]
+<DD>Set a default node attribute, with default <I>value</I> = <TT>true</TT>.
+<DT><STRONG>-E</STRONG><I>name</I>[=<I>value</I>]
+<DD>Set a default edge attribute, with default <I>value</I> = <TT>true</TT>.
+<DT><A NAME=minusK><STRONG>-K</STRONG></A><I>layout</I>
+<DD>Specifies which default layout algorithm to use, overriding the default from the command name. For example, running
+<TT>dot -Kneato</TT> is equivalent to running <TT>neato</TT>.
+<DT><A NAME=d:T><STRONG>-T</STRONG></A><I>format</I>[:<I>renderer</I>[:<I>formatter</I>]]       
+<DD>Set output language to one of the <A HREF=output.html>supported formats</A>.
+By default, <A HREF=output.html#d:dot>attributed dot</A> is produced.
+<P>
+Depending on how Graphviz was built, there may be multiple renderers for
+generating a particular output format, and multiple formatters for 
+creating the final output. For example, a typical installation
+can produce <A HREF="http://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/output.html#d:png">PNG</A>
+output using either the Cairo or GD library. The desired rendering engine
+can be specified after a colon. If there are multiple formatting engines
+available, the desired one can be specified in a similar fashion after
+the rendering engine. Thus, <TT>-Tpng:cairo</TT> specifies PNG
+output produced by Cairo (using the Cairo's default formatter), and 
+<TT>-Tpng:cairo:gd</TT> specifies PNG
+output produced by Cairo formatted using the GD library.
+<P>
+If no renderer is specified, or a renderer but no formatter, the default one
+is invoked. The flag <TT>-T<I>format</I>:</TT> produces a list of all
+of the renderers available for the specified <I>format</I>, the first one
+listed with a prefix matching <I>format</I> being the default.
+Using the <TT>-v</TT> flag, described below, will print which format,
+renderer, and formatter are actually used.
+<DT><STRONG>-V</STRONG>             
+<DD>Emit version information and exit.
+<DT><STRONG>-l</STRONG><I>library</I>
+<DD>User-supplied, device-dependent library text. Multiple flags may
+be given. These strings are passed to the code generator at the
+beginning of output. 
+<P>For PostScript output, they are treated as file names
+whose content will be included in the preamble after the standard preamble.
+If <I>library</I> is the empty string <TT>""</TT>, the standard preamble
+is not emitted.
+<DT><A NAME=d:n><STRONG>-n</STRONG>[<I>num</I>]</A>      
+<DD>Sets no-op flag in <STRONG>neato</STRONG>. 
+If set, <STRONG>neato</STRONG> assumes nodes have already been 
+positioned and all nodes have a <A HREF=attrs.html#d:pos>pos</A>
+attribute giving
+the positions. It then performs an optional adjustment to remove node-node
+overlap, depending on the value of the 
+<A HREF=attrs.html#d:overlap>overlap</A> attribute, computes the edge 
+layouts, depending on the value of the 
+<A HREF=attrs.html#d:splines>splines</A> attribute, and
+emits the graph in the appropriate format. If <I>num</I> is supplied,
+the following actions occur:
+<DL>
+<DT><I>num</I> = 1
+<DD>Equivalent to <STRONG>-n</STRONG>.
+<DT><I>num</I> > 1
+<DD>Use node positions as specified, with no adjustment to
+remove node-node overlaps, and use any edge layouts already specified
+by the <A HREF=attrs.html#d:pos>pos</A> attribute. <STRONG>neato</STRONG>
+computes an edge layout for any edge that does not have a <B>pos</B> attribute.
+As usual, edge layout is guided by the 
+<A HREF=attrs.html#d:splines>splines</A> attribute.
+</DL>
+<DT><STRONG>-o</STRONG><I>outfile</I>    
+<DD>Write output to file <I>outfile</I>. By default, output goes to
+<STRONG>stdout</STRONG>.
+<DT><STRONG>-O</STRONG>
+<DD>Automatically generate output file names based on the input
+file name and the various output formats specified by the <STRONG>-T</STRONG>
+flags.
+<DT><STRONG>-P</STRONG>
+<DD>Automatically generate a graph that shows the plugin configuration of
+the current executable.   e.g.  <STRONG>dot -P -Tps | lpr</STRONG>
+<DT><STRONG>-q</STRONG>
+<DD>Suppress warning messages.
+<DT><A NAME=d:s><STRONG>-s</STRONG></A>[<I>scale</I>]
+<DD>Set input scale to <I>scale</I>. If this value is omitted,
+72.0 is used. This number is used to convert the point coordinate
+units used in the <A HREF=attrs.html#d:pos>pos</A> attribute 
+into inches, which is what is expected by neato and fdp. 
+Thus, feeding the output of a graph laid out by one program into
+neato or fdp almost always requires this flag.
+Ignored if the <STRONG>-n</STRONG> flag is used.
+<DT><STRONG>-v</STRONG>             
+<DD>Verbose mode
+<DT><STRONG>-x</STRONG>             
+<DD>In <STRONG>neato</STRONG>, on input, prune isolated nodes and peninsulas.
+This removes uninteresting graph structure and produces a less cluttered
+drawing.
+<DT><STRONG>-y</STRONG>             
+<DD>By default, the coordinate system used in generic output formats, 
+such as <A HREF=output.html#d:dot>attributed dot</A>,
+<A HREF=output.html#d:xdot>extended dot</A>,
+<A HREF=output.html#d:plain>plain</A> and
+<A HREF=output.html#d:plain-ext>plain-ext</A>,
+is the standard cartesian system with the origin in the lower left corner, 
+and with increasing y coordinates as points move from bottom to top.
+If the <CODE>-y</CODE> flag is used, the coordinate system is inverted,
+so that increasing values of y correspond to movement from top to bottom.
+<DT><STRONG>-?</STRONG>             
+<DD>Print usage information, then exit.
+</DL>
+If multiple <STRONG>-T</STRONG> flags are given, drawings of the graph
+are emitted in each of the specified formats. Multiple <STRONG>-o</STRONG>
+flags can be used to specify the output file for each format. If there
+are more formats than files, the remaining formats are written to
+<STRONG>stdout</STRONG>.
+<P>
+Note that the <STRONG>-G</STRONG>, 
+<STRONG>-N</STRONG> and
+<STRONG>-E</STRONG> flags override any initial attribute declarations
+in the input graph,
+i.e., those attribute statements appearing before any node, edge or
+subgraph definitions.
+In addition, these flags cause the related attributes to be permanently
+attached to the graph. Thus, if attributed dot is used for
+output, the graph will have these attributes.
+<H3>Environment Variables</H3>
+<DL>
+<DT><STRONG>GDFONTPATH</STRONG>
+<DD>
+List of pathnames giving directories which a program should search for fonts.
+Overridden by <A HREF=#d:DOTFONTPATH>DOTFONTPATH</A>.
+<IT>Used only if Graphviz is not built with the <TT>fontconfig</TT> library</IT>
+<DT><A NAME=d:DOTFONTPATH><STRONG>DOTFONTPATH</STRONG></A>
+<DD>
+List of pathnames giving directories which a program should search for fonts.
+Overridden by <A HREF=attrs.html#d:fontpath><STRONG>fontpath</STRONG></A>.
+<IT>Used only if Graphviz is not built with the <TT>fontconfig</TT> library</IT>
+<DT><A NAME=d:SERVER_NAME><STRONG>SERVER_NAME</STRONG></A>
+<DD>
+If defined, this indicates that the software is running as a web application,
+which restricts access to image files. See 
+<A HREF=d:GV_FILE_PATH>GV_FILE_PATH</A>.
+<DT><A NAME=d:GV_FILE_PATH><STRONG>GV_FILE_PATH</STRONG></A>
+<DD>
+If <A HREF=d:SERVER_NAME>SERVER_NAME</A> is defined, image files are
+restricted to the directory specified by <TT>GV_FILE_PATH</TT>.
+Note that sometimes, when using one of the layout programs in a web
+script, it is not enough to use an export command but rather the
+variables should be set when the command is run, for example,<BR>
+<CODE>
+SERVER_NAME=xxx GV_FILE_PATH="images/" dot -Tpng -o x.png x.dot
+</CODE>
+<DT><A NAME=d:GVBINDIR><STRONG>GVBINDIR</STRONG></A>
+<DD>
+Indicates which directory contains the Graphviz config file and
+plug-in libraries. If it is defined, the value overrides any other
+mechanism for finding this directory. If Graphviz is properly installed,
+it should not be needed, though it can be useful for relocation on
+platforms not running Linux or Windows.
