FIG (Facility for Interactive Generation of figures) graphics format is a vector drawing format. This format preserves initial attributes and produces very small files .It give access to a lot of other formats with associated softwares. Langage description can be found here for version 3.2:http://www.xfig.org/userman/fig-format.html . Informations about associated softwares at this site: http://homepage.usask.ca/~ijm451/fig/

DOT is a specialized format for graph visualization. GraphViz layout tools [...make diagrams in several useful formats such as images and SVG for web pages, Postscript for inclusion in PDF or other documents...]. As in FIG format, CoGui preserves initial attibutes such like colors and shapes. But with DOT format it is no use to give vertices coordinates, layouters calculate new positions. Software is here: http://www.graphviz.org .
