Description

Curious - will this tool output "dot" formatted files for using a tool like GraphViz for plotting the graph ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_(graph_description_language)

If not, this may be a really neat format to export to so that a whole bunch of tools can consume, and visualize the networks laid out here.
