Graph drawing app?
Do any of you tech-savvy types know of a good free app that generates a graph from a table of connectivity data?
I am a lay person in this area, so it'll have to not require me to gain significant understanding of graph theory just in order to use it[1]. What I want in the simplest version is to be able to feed in a CSV or similar table of A -> B, C -> B, C-> D, etc, and get out a nice network diagram in some straightforward graphical file format. If it's also able to represent direction, strength etc of relationship, that'd be a bonus!
1 I found the CPAN Graph module fairly heavy going in places in this respect, so that gives you an idea of my lowly level of understanding. But I will end up using that to write something myself if there's nothing handier out there.
