Feb 16, 2012 at 10:15 comment added Lou did you see stackoverflow.com/questions/4245946/…. It converts the layout of the old graph towards the new graph?

Feb 16, 2012 at 7:52 comment added Szabolcs GraphPlot and related functions are far from obsolete in v8. Graph can't do everything they can (e.g. multigraphs). Graph drawing is complex enough to be a research field on its own so I am not sure if it's worthwhile trying to implement your own algorithm for this.
Feb 16, 2012 at 2:52 comment added cah I should add that LayeredGraphPlot does, in fact, work with Mathematica 8 native Graph objects.
Feb 16, 2012 at 1:10 comment added cah I use LayeredGraphPlot. It helps to compute the transitive reduction of your graph first (if you want to draw all the edges, pick off the vertex coordinates from the layered plot of the transitive reduction and then plot the full graph). Transitive reduction was implemented in Combinatorica, but it's not included for Mathematica 8 Graph objects. Fortunately, they give you TopologicalSort, so it's fairly easy to implement.
