[Boost-users] Re: Graphviz vs boost.Graph: which is recommended?

FWIW - I use the BGL to store my graph data and calculate shortest paths
etc., I use raw GDI (fast) and AGG (smooth - www.antigrain.com) to render
the data.  For layouts I have a few of my own (simplistic) I also use
GraphViz (as there is a save to and load from DOT functions within BGL).
