I think, node reference graph is very usefull and demonstrate easily many things.

So an idea is the possibility to display the graph in other way than in the node, a possibility to export the code can be a good solution by example, after this code can be placed in block.

Another way is the idea to have a view by example who filter the node use in a map and with all the node selected create a graph :
*filter the nodes
*find the nodes without reference and place each in one separate graph,
*add the nodes referenced in each graph (possibly with redondancy)

Another interessing feature is the idea to add another field in the node.

Hi ndm,
Some good suggestions.

-Graph-in-a-block: yeah, I can see how this might be useful in limited circumstances, but most graphs are gonna be too big for this..

-Graph in a view: Yep, good idea. This could eventually replace the graph tab on nodes and taxonomy terms, too.

-Another field in the node: that's kind of already implemented in graphviz_noderef_field.module, which is included in this module, however it's buggy, and probably doesn't work at all in the d7 version. Unless you eman something else?

At the moment, I don't have heaps of time, so I'm unlikely to put work into adding features that I don't need personally, however I'm more than happy to accept (and help with) patches.
