 Create this graph:

 {{{
 sage: F = GF(3)
 sage: gens = [matrix(F,2,[1,0, 1,1]), matrix(F,2, [1,1, 0,1])]
 sage: group = MatrixGroup(gens)
 sage: G = group.cayley_graph()
 }}}

 It is not too big:

 {{{
 sage: G
 Digraph on 24 vertices
 }}}

 Note that since the vertices of G are matrices, the default
 `format='tkz_graph'` [http://www.liafa.univ-paris-
 diderot.fr/~labbe/blogue/2012/10/draw-a-graph-of-matrices-in-latex-using-
 sage/ does not work]. One need to use `format='dot2tex'`. With
 dot2tex-2.8.7-2 and graphviz installed, this works:

 {{{
 sage: G.set_latex_options(format='dot2tex', prog='neato')
 sage: view(G)
 }}}

 But not this one:

 {{{
 sage: G.set_latex_options(format='dot2tex', prog='dot')
 sage: view(G)
 An error occurred.
 ...
 LaTex error
 }}}

 I know a workaround which is to [http://www.liafa.univ-paris-
 diderot.fr/~labbe/blogue/2012/11/using-sage-graphviz-dot2tex-tikz-
 tikz2pdf-to-draw-a-graph use the tikz2pdf script] which compiles fine.
 But, it would be nice if view could compile G as well.
