[comp.windows.x] Directed graph widget

Does anyone know of a widget (or program) which would allow display of
directed graphs? I'd like to use it to cruise through a large data
structure which is organized as a digraph. (I'd expect to have to
write my own filter from my data structure --> display data
structure.)  This seems like the kind of thing that might be in public
domain, though it's not in the Athena widget set.

It would be nice if nodes and edges in the digraph could be made
mouse-sensitive and could be used to bring up text (or more generally
to cause events), since a fair number of data fields are attached to
each node and edge.

Alternately, if you have any comments on how to create such a widget
from the Athena set, I'd appreciate those.

I'll summarize responses. Please pardon the lack of sophistication;
I'm new to X programming. Thanks!
