grap is included in Plan 9.

anim's source is still in netlib somewhere (i'm sure i saw it recently)
but would take a little effort (probably not all that much) to get going
under Plan 9; i've certainly ported it to other systems before, but
not to Plan 9.

dag was replaced by `dot', which was once distributed under some form of licence
at least to educational sites; the university of york had a copy,
which i did run on Plan 9 when i was there.

dot would be very useful in the Java age to draw graphs of the
API hierarchy as it changes.  (a copy of AutoRoute-Java
is obviously essential too.)  i wonder if it is still available.

>>i always wanted to generate my own pico-portraits...
that's the one that would be most fun, i think.
was the original ever distributed?
(i know there's a PD approximation.)
