+<p>Springgraph will read in a .dot file description of a graph, which, for each
+node, specifies its name and which other nodes it is connected to, and then
+renders a graph. Each node is drawn as an ellipse, and each connection is drawn
+as an arrow. The node placement is a result of all of the nodes moving away
+from each other, while all nodes which are connected move toward each other.
+This movement is repeated until it stabilizes.
