Graphviz and ascii output

If you are not perl averse, graph-easy (and the associated Graph::Easy package) can do exactly that:

http://search.cpan.org/~tels/Graph-Easy/

http://search.cpan.org/~tels/Graph-Easy/bin/graph-easy

On Mac you can install this with Homebrew and cpan:

brew install cpanminus
cpan Graph::Easy

It’s easy to invoke after installation:

cat dotfile.dot   | /opt/local/libexec/perl5.12/sitebin/graph-easy
