# maria-vis(1)

graph visualization script for maria

## NAME

maria-vis - graph visualization script for maria

## SYNOPSIS

**maria-vis**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **maria-vis** command.

**maria-vis** is a **lefty** script invoked by **maria** in order to visually present information to the user.  The script reads commands and directives from standard input and may write **maria** query language commands to standard output.  An end-of-file condition on standard input terminates the script.\
 The script is built on top of the **dotty** script that is part of the GraphViz package.  The commands prefixed with **visual** in **maria** issue two kinds of commands to this script: *new();* or *add();* followed by a newline character and a graph definition in the **dot** input language.  The *new* function in the script displays the graph in a new window, while the *add* function copies information from the graph to the last modified graph.
