The Graph Structure is an interface to the graphviz package.

The graphviz package is a graph visualization system. This interface consists in three classes:

TGraphStruct: holds the graph structure. It uses the graphviz library to layout the graphs and the ROOT graphics to paint them.
TGraphNode: Is a graph node object which can be added in a TGraphStruct.
TGraphEdge: Is an edge object connecting two nodes which can be added in a TGraphStruct.

A graph structure can be dumped into a "dot" file using DumpAsDotFile.
