The daddy for this sort of task seem to be the dot format. dot seems to be
as old as the hills, and the format is a piece of cake. There are a
million and one tools available for layout, translation, you name it. The
modern version may be SVG.

My use for this was to crawl/spider across a network of proprietary
message routing deamons to try to get a visual representation. In my case
it was still-born because it was easier to understand in a table format.
