Julia tool for graph visualization

I use julia programming language for my research. I do some graph processing. For this I use Graphs.jl library which suits me perfectly. But now I need a tool to visualize my graph.

I tried use:

plot(my_graph)

But it doesn't look so well. You can see it on a picture below.

enter image description here

Is there any other julia tool to visualize graph better?

Looks like Graphs.jl uses the Graphviz neato utility to plot the graphs.

You can "enhance" the graphs a bit by defining your own graph function.

julia> sg = simple_complete_graph(5)
Directed Graph (5 vertices, 20 edges)

julia> function my_plot(g::AbstractGraph, cmdline_opts::String="")
           if isempty(cmdline_opts) 
               stdin, proc = open(`neato -Tx11`, "w")
           else 
               stdin, proc = open(`neato -Tx11 $cmdline_opts`, "w")
           end
           to_dot(g, stdin)
           close(stdin)
       end
my_plot (generic function with 4 methods)

julia> my_plot(sg, "-Elen=3.0")
