+The VCG tool reads a textual and readable specification of a
+graph and visualizes the graph. If not all positions of
+nodes are fixed, the tool layouts the graph using several
+heuristics as reducing the number of crossings, minimizing
+the size of edges, centering of nodes. The specification
+language of the VCG tool is nearly compatible to GRL, the
+language of the edge tool, but contains many extensions. The
+VCG tool allows folding of dynamically or statically speci-
+fied regions of the graph. It uses colors and runs on
+X11. (An older version runs on Sunview).
