The DdopGrapher is a utility to generate directed graphs from ISO-11783 xml DVC
elements. Output looks similar to many AEF implement diagrams. The source code specific

The DdopGrapher software uses Graphviz's dot program to generate PNG images.
For convenience, this distribution contains a copy of the binary distribution of
the Graphviz software. You can download the full binary distribution from Graphviz's
website http://www.graphviz.org/Download_windows.php . License information is 
provided in the subdirectory containing the Graphviz copy.


2. CONTENT
The distribution contains the following sub directories
	compiler_prj: contains a VisualStudio 2012 solution to build the DdopGrapher
	              executable for Microsoft Windows 7 and above. 
	dot:          directory containing the required dynamic link libraries and
	              executables from Graphviz's binary distribution for Microsoft
				  Windows operating system (see above)
	output:       target directory for output files
	src:          source code files for DdopGrapher
	tinyxml:      source code files from TinyXML to be compiled into DdopGrapher 
	
	
3. USAGE
DdopGrapher is a simple to use command line program. I prefer to drag the file
containing DVC's I want drawn onto the excutable. This will execute the DdopGrapher
with default settings on the file. 

Usage: DdopGrapher file(1).xml file(2).xml ... file(N).xml
  Parses input list of files for ISO11783 DVC elements.
  For each DVC element an attempt will be made to make a dot graph and a PNG file with
  name 'file'_[AtrributeA].
  Output will be in sub directories dot and png.
 -D             Use dot.exe from PATH
 -d dot         Use 'dot' as dot exectuable, default is ../dot/dot.exe
 -p count       Use 'count' dot processes when drawing, default is 8
 -v             Print Version and exit
