Hi

Can anybody let me know about the "dot" utility in Linux? As I understand it generates graphical presentation for the input file.
In which scenarios this utility is helpful ? and where do I get this utility in the form of RPM.

New one on me. here's your answer.

DOT
by Vanderplaats R&D, Inc.

DOT ® is a general purpose numerical optimization software package which can be used to solve a wide variety of nonlinear optimization problems. DOT is linked with the user's codes to create the design optimization program. DOT will change the input parameters to the analysis in order to minimize or maximize the user defined objective, subject to constraints (limits) on other user defined responses. To achieve this, DOT calls the analysis program repeatedly while searching for the optimum.

How's that?

Oh, how did I find that? www.google.com/linux and put in dot.

Your welcome. Glad to help.
