I've used graphviz to accomplish such a task. The documentation is good,
and the generated graphs are very nice.
For example, I generated the following with dot (albeit not
programmatically, wrote the graph source file by hand)
http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~rrenaud/csdep/csdep.html
I also used it in one of my CS classes when we had to implement a routing
algorithm. I used it to generate graphs (programmatically) of the networks
the routers would be running on, and it helped debugging immensely.
You can get it here.
