Vcf Visualization Tool?

Is there any tool that is able to display VCF files on a genome graph or something similar?

vcf visualization genomics

Is there an RFC for VCF or does it just emerge?

I think IGV reads VCF.

IGV

I can't get it to do anything with vcf 3.3 or 4.0. It just complains 'is the file extension correct?. I have '.vcf' files.

You need to index the .vcf file with eg. IGVtools -- vcf4.0 is not supported in this week's release but they say it'll be in there from next week onwards...
