GraphViz is great. I used it in a Cypress DSP processor development mini-IDE (C#) [1]. A diagram is generated for each step of the assembler code showing the data and addressing. Being able to visual the pipelining of instructions and data flow was the main motivation. Scrubbing through the program step by step to see how the state changes made the VLIW assembler programming much easier.

MIT-license code is here with screenshots:
