This library is derived from a technical report "Directed Factor Graph Notation for Generative Models" and the accompanying TikZ macros by Laura Dietz 2010 (http://people.cs.umass.edu/~dietz/).

GraphViz (http://www.graphviz.org/) is a more general open source graph visualization software. It uses DOT file format to describe the structure of the graph. The DOT file can be converted to LaTeX using dot2tex (http://www.fauskes.net/code/dot2tex/).
