public class DIFHierarchyToDot
extends HierarchyToDot

DOT file generator for DIFHierarchy objects. It is used to create dot files as an input to GraphViz tools. A dot file is created by first defining an DIFHierarchy object and then using the HierarchyToDot.toFile(java.lang.String) method. Underlying hierarchy object is cached during the constructor call and cannot be changed afterwards.
