What are the best options to visualize a graph defined in GraphML on Mac OSX or Linux ? R + iGraph seems to be a valid solution according to gremlin-users group but I'm wondering if there is any easier solution, ideally a simple "graphml2png" command line application. Any idea ?

The most effective way to visualize graphs is through a node-link model, where nodes represent entities and links represent connections. These nodes and links can be anything – transactions between accounts, devices on a network, or phone calls between friends.
What is GraphML? GraphML is a comprehensive and easy-to-use file format for graphs. It consists of a language core to describe the structural properties of a graph and a flexible extension mechanism to add application-specific data.
The Force Atlas layout is from Gephi – it works best for small networks (up to 10,000 nodes) and can be slow.
I use yEd and it works on Linux, Windows and OSX. Plus it can export to several formats such as PDF, PNG, SVG, BMP, etc
Unfortunately, no command line support AFAIK
