In RGraphviz or graph, there is no function to read a .dot file to create a graph object for use in Rgaphviz or I am missing something? Thanks. Xiao-Jun

Thanks. > we are improving the handling of dot files. at the moment, you can use dot2gxl (a utility provided with graphviz, not Rgraphviz) to transform dot to XML, then use the fromGXL method of the graph package. not all attributes expressible in dot or GXL will be propagated to the graph -- let us know if some key attributes need to be added for propagation.
