Re: [graphviz-interest] dot2texi cannot handle large graphs

Thanks for the reply. Size isn't that much of an issue as I meant to 
print this at a0. I managed to get something by dumping out the formulae 
as images before using straight graphviz:

I couldn't get twopi's normal radial layout algorithm to cope with that 
(out of memory error), so I was forced to use prism, giving a somewhat 
nastier result.

It is, as you say, pretty incomprehensible, but it illustrates 
combinatorial explosion reasonably well (which was one aim). Radial (and 
non-rasterised) would have been even better, but...!

best wishes,
Mohan
