XML plan to plan diagram

$

Hi All,

I am on SQL 2008.

I am aware of 3 different formats of SQL plans. First is the text plan which we get by using "set showplan_text..." commands, second way is to see the plan in SSMS (which is the nice arrows-n-boxes diagram and can be saved as .sqlplan file) and third is the new plan in XML format (which we can obtain from dm_exec_query_plan and few other ways).

My question is, is there a way I can convert the XML plan to the nice diagram? If somebody gives me a XML plan, can I open/view it in SSMS as a diagram?

Also, are there ways to convert text based plan (set showplan_text on) to XML or the picture plan ?

Thanks in advance
