I'm a big fan of dot, which is part of the graphviz suite of tools:

http://www.graphviz.org/

Super easy way to visualize graph data.  The format is easy to script or
do manually.  For your data set you would use:

----
digraph demo {
    A -> B;
    A -> C;
    B -> C;
}
----

Save that into a file named demo.dot and then execute:

----
dot -Tps demo.dot > demo.ps
----

Best of luck,
-Roy
