Originally developed at AT&T Labs, it powers dependency graphs in build systems, call graphs in profilers, and database schemas in ORMs -- anywhere that diagrams need to be generated from structured data rather than drawn by hand. Graphviz Charts for Confluence brings that same engine directly into your Confluence pages, letting you write DOT language descriptions and get polished, auto-laid-out diagrams without leaving your wiki.
