About aiSee
-----------
When working with any kind of complex relational data, visualization
provides for much better and faster understanding. aiSee was developed
to visualize the internal data structures typically found in compilers.
Today it is widely used in many different areas:
- Database management (entity relationship diagrams)
- Genealogy (family trees)
- Business management (organization charts)
- Software development (control flow graphs, PERT charts)
- Hardware design (circuit diagrams, networks)
aiSee reads a textual, easy-to-read and easy-to-learn graph
specification and automatically calculates a customizable graph layout.
This layout is then displayed, and can be interactively explored, printed,
or exported to various formats.
aiSee has been optimized to handle huge graphs automatically generated
by other applications (e.g. compilers). It is available for Windows,
various Unix dialects, and Mac OS X/X11.
