dot
Edge origin
Submitted by martine.gautier... on Tue, 02/28/2012 - 05:24 I build a graph with dot and I would like edges start inside nodes (like in a earlier version).
How can I do that in the latest version ?
Thanks
(yet) Another DOT editor + viewer...
Submitted by schmoo on Sat, 02/25/2012 - 09:37Hi guys - I have done yet another DOT editor + viewer...
The editor is just a quick "DOT mode" using CodeMirror's javascript editor.
The viewer is an IE ActiveX/FF Plugin and the source is available on github (it is cross platform Linux/Windows).
Be gentle!

Layers and Clusters
Submitted by poggio on Fri, 02/24/2012 - 16:55 Hi,
I need to create graphs with clusters that are not perfectly hierarchical. For example, nodes a and b are in one cluster and nodes b and c are in another cluster. I had hoped that putting the clusters into different layers might solve the problem, but it does not. Any given node appears only in a single cluster. The following dot input demonstrates the problem:
digraph G { layers="1:2"; node [layer=all]; edge [layer=all];
a0 -> b0; a0 -> b1;
Possible to include small thumbnails in dot?
Submitted by dpetrou on Thu, 02/23/2012 - 10:13 Hi. I'm visualizing some clusters, and for just cluster I have a small graphic (jpg) that I'd like to place near the cluster. Is this possible?
Is including images possible at all? (Say in a node.)
Thanks,
David
Edges connect not symmetric with spline type "ortho"
Submitted by uwausac on Sun, 02/19/2012 - 09:29In the attached example for dot I use "splines=ortho". The highest node with the number 0001 has several edges connected. On the right side they are distributed on the whole length of the rectangular node. On the left side all edges are clumped in the lower part of the side. Other nodes (for example 0135 in the lower part) look perfectly symmetric, als I would like all nodes to be. What is the reason for this different behaviour? Is there any way to influence it?
Cross Functional Flowcharts
Submitted by benny59 on Sat, 02/18/2012 - 08:26Hi There,
I have been playing with dot for small charts and now I spent some more effort on producing the attacched cross functional flowchart.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_functional_flowchart
Once obtained the visual effect I'd like to discuss the results with expert to optimize it.
a little explaination.
I created a subgraph for each stakeholder, then hidden nodes and edges to force the group dependency.
Finally I wrote the visible edges.
dot - graphviz version 2.26.3 (on Ubuntu 11.10) does not recognize arcs from/to clusters
Submitted by ericP on Mon, 02/13/2012 - 00:57The Undirected Graph Clusters example at fdpclust produces a disconnected graph instead of the documented output. Apparently, cluster names in arcs like "clusterC -- clusterB" are assumed to be new nodes. I had this problem in other dot files as well.
Dot.exe is not running on WinXP SP2
Submitted by JoshIAm on Wed, 02/08/2012 - 20:39- Installed graphviz-2.28.0.msi on Windows XP SP2.
- Tried to run dot.exe to generate png but the it says that the system cannot runn the program and to try re-installing.
- It runs fine on Windows 7.
Is this a known issue? Is there a simple workaround?
does dot layout optimization work not perfect
Submitted by uwausac on Wed, 01/25/2012 - 10:41With the following code I get a graph where the line from b04 to a18 crosses the whole graph and the nodes following the node a18 are printed on the right side but they would perfectly fit on the left side, avoiding one crossing and making the line b04 to a18 much shorter. (see attached example). Can this be considered as a bug in the dot layout engine or is there an other explanation for this behaviour? Are there any parameters to change this behaviour of dot?
Graph {
a01 -- b01
a02 -- b01
b01 -- a03
b01 -- a04
b01 -- a05
Centos graphviz-php problems
Submitted by s4ntos on Wed, 01/11/2012 - 09:58Hi all,
Is anyone having problems installing the graphviz-php lib on Centos 5?
I've manage to configure the lib on Ubuntu, but I'm having problems enabling it on Centos 5.
I've configured the extension with the library. But the phpinfo() functions does not show the gv library and my code fails with a 'Class gv is not found'.
Thanks for the help.
