By default, herd7 performs some edges removal when generating the
graphical outputs.  The option -showraw can be useful to increase
the "verbosity", for example,

  [with "exists (x=2)", output in /tmp/T.dot]
  $ herd7 -conf linux-kernel.cfg T.litmus -show prop -o /tmp -skipchecks plain-coherence -doshow ww-vis -showraw ww-vis

And similarly

  [with "exists (x=2)"]
  $ herd7 -conf linux-kernel.cfg T.litmus -show prop -o /tmp -doshow ww-vis,ww-nonrace -showraw ww-vis,ww-nonrace
