postgresql Explain command output

["RaviRam Kolipaka" <raviram.kolipaka@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi,
 
     is there any generalized format for the output for the output of the explain command ?. If so please send that generalized format to me.
otherwise tell me how to parse the output of explain command to 
know where the relation name occurs,where the conditions occurs,
where the join conditions occur and so on. My  goal is create a visual 
representation of the expain plan. Can some body help me in this regard.
         Thanks & regards
