James Michael DuPont <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: GNU Visualization of Complier Graphs
System name: gnuvcg
Type: GNU

Description:
This is not my project, but I am taking over the maintence of it.
There has been no updates on this in years,
and I have received patches from the author to make it GNU compatible. 

Parts of the older code were \"Uglified\" and I will be making 
hopefully a \"GNU VCG\" one that is %100 GNU compliant.

Also I would like to turn this into a generic layout component and embed it 
inside of GNOME DIA.

The project VCG was written by Georg Sander address@hidden  and others as part 
of ESPRIT project.

Here is the home page.

 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 specified regions of the graph. It uses colors and runs on X11 and 
MS Windows 3.1. (An older version runs on Sunview).

Other Software Required:
X11, It is very old

Other Comments:
This project will be used as part of the introspector.sf.net interface into the 
GCC compiler. I would like to move the entire project over to savannah
