Not trying to be esoteric, if you're talking about the actual documentation/visualization part of it (not automated discovery), then you can make a spreadsheet of edges/vertexes (e.g. routers and connecting interfaces) and feed it into graphviz.  This approach has the benefit of storing the data in a tabular form (better, imho), and can be used to re-generate the diagram whenever the data is updated.  We use something similar, but output to KML from info in a database, so you get the benefit of a more accurate geographical representation, not just pure network topology.

I used to use Dude, it was causing a system-wide interrupt every 20-30 seconds.  Employed a rb750gr3 to monitor 3 pops. Un-plugging the rb750 caused the problem to go away.  We made the experts very wealthy trying to figure out the cause of the problem.

Now I have to manually draw 3 charts for the new IT dept.  As soon as we add new clients, the new charts will be outdated.  It doesn't matter because the Mikrotiks are going away too.  So just looking for a temporary solution to convey topology info to the new guys who are taking over and then they can do it their way.

There is wine for Windows but I don't know if it would run dude. There is always a VM.

    You may be seeing maps managed by Mikrotik's Dude, which is free
    as long as you have one of a handful of MT routers that can run
    the server (needs a TILE or an inexpensive non-variant hEX).
    However, the client is built only for Windows.  It does run
    perfectly on Macs in a wine-bottle app wrapper; perhaps there's
    an analogous environment for Linux.
