How to graph a connectivity/adjacency matrix?

I want to graph the structure of a network (a power grid). I have a list containing to-from nodes for each branch.
The BIOGRAPH function is almost perfect. The drawback is that the lines always go out the "bottom" of the ancestor block, and into the "top" of the descendant. As an ancestor is always displayed above its descendants, the graphs are sometimes very chaotic.
It would be much better if the graph was plotted in a way that just showed which nodes were connected, without any hierarchy, and where lines could be horizontal.
Edit: I need to be able to assign different colors to various lines / nodes, to visualize voltage issues or overloads etc, similar to what I've done using biograph (code below).
Is this possible? It doesn't need to be a perfect solution, any improvements would be great.
This is the code I use now:
%%Plot biograph
Sys = sparse(from,to,1,s,s);
SysTri = tril(Sys + Sys');
bg = biograph(SysTri,ids,'ShowArrows','off','ShowWeights','off');
h = view(bg);
%%Color faulted line:
set(h.nodes(newFaultNodes),'Color',[1 0.4 0.4]);
fowEdges = getedgesbynodeid(h,get(h.Nodes(newFaultNodes),'ID'));
revEdges = getedgesbynodeid(h,get(h.Nodes(fliplr(newFaultNodes)),'ID'));
edges = [fowEdges;revEdges];
set(edges,'LineColor',[1 0 0])
set(edges,'LineWidth',2)

Would gplot work for the basic setup? By default, the code doesn't allow the edge color modifications that you mention, but the code can be modified pretty easily to allow this (I've written a version that allows this, and can post it to the FEX if this is the type of thing you had in mind).

What operating system are you on, and how do you start Matlab? At least on a Mac, Matlab doesn't run any of your .rc or .profile scripts when it sets up the shell it accesses for system commands, so it can be a bit of a pain to get it to recognize some external functions.
The easiest way to resolve this is to run
setenv('PATH' [getenv('PATH') ':/path/to/neato']);
(or whatever corresponds to your operating system).
I actually solve this problem by adding
source ~/.bash_profile
to the first line of the {matlabroot}/bin/matlab function, because this way I don't need to worry about syncing my Matlab shell with the rest of my computer when I make changes to my path, but that's probably not the recommended way to do it (since the main matlab startup script isn't really intended to be messed with).

setenv worked =)
It looks like Graphviz has all the functions is need. Thank you, I really appreciate the help!
