dot

I try to create diagrams for MPLUS analyses with dot from the graphviz package. Does anybody have experience with using dot to visualize structural equation models/latent class mixture models? There is especially one feature that I can't figure out how to do beautifully: I need arrows from nodes to the center of another arrow like C | | V A ------------> B I tried to insert an invisible node at the intersection of the arrows. This, however, results in a "cracked" A--->B arrow because dot does represent it as two independent arrows. Is this even possible with dot? Thanks for suggestions and

I've been struggling with this for a while and cannot seem to find a straight answer. I'm working with compound subgraphs in graphviz and cannot seem to find the right combination of settings to force two subgraphs to align with each other. Enclosed is a simple example to show the problem... digraph g { compound=true; subgraph cluster_top { graph [color=black, label="Top", rank=min]; nodeA; nodeB; nodeC cluster_top_DUMMY [shape=point style=invis] } subgraph cluster_service { graph [color=black, label="Bottom", rank=min]; node1; node2; node3; node4; node5; extra_long_node cluster_bottom_DUMMY

Using the dot directed graph language, is it possible to create subgraphs with a different rankdir? I tried the following, which didn't work. Both graphs were left to right, despite the presence of rankdir="TB" in the subgraph. digraph g { rankdir="LR"; LEFT->RIGHT; clusterrank="local"; subgraph cluster1 { rankdir="TB"; node[style=filled]; color=black; TOP->BOTTOM; } } Is there some other syntax to get a Top/Bottom and Left/Right graph in the same diagram, or is this not possible? Seems like this is a long standing feature request: http://www.graphviz.org/bugs/b1279.html Desperately wanting

I'm trying to draw a pretty simple diagram in dot. digraph untitled { rankdir = LR; {rank=same; S; A} B -> A; B -> S; A -> A; S -> S; A -> S ; S -> A; A -> T; S -> T; } The results I get is I really have to change the edge from S -> S , but I would also like to change the orientation of the arrows so they loop from left to right. To change the orientation of any arrow, you may simply use dir=back : S -> S [dir=back]; But in your case this doesn't seem to be necessary... (see below) Because of the overlap between the edge S -> S and the A -> S and S -> A edges, I suggest to use only one edge

When using both subscript and superscripts on a node label, is it possible to alter the positioning so that they are directly above each other. Example: digraph G { x11[label=<X<SUB>1</SUB><SUP>(1)</SUP>>]; x21[label=<X<SUB>2</SUB><SUP>(1)</SUP>>]; x11 -> x21 } Which produces Is it possible to have the (#) directly above the # rather than slightly to the right? thanks I tried to add a custom css script (re: HTML: can I place subscript text right under the superscript? ) to my dot script with stylesheet = "styles.css"; (re: Using CSS classes in HTML labels on Graphviz ), however, it it returns

The dependency-parsed output (using Stanford Parser) of the following two sentences are as follows. Sentence 1 - John is a computer scientist Dot format - digraph G{ edge [dir=forward] node [shape=plaintext] 0 [label="0 (None)"] 0 -> 5 [label="root"] 1 [label="1 (John)"] 2 [label="2 (is)"] 3 [label="3 (a)"] 4 [label="4 (computer)"] 5 [label="5 (scientist)"] 5 -> 2 [label="cop"] 5 -> 4 [label="compound"] 5 -> 3 [label="det"] 5 -> 1 [label="nsubj"] } Graph - Sentence 2 - John has an elder sister named Mary. Dot Format - digraph G{ edge [dir=forward] node [shape=plaintext] 0 [label="0 (None)"] 0

A stack overflow thread (found through google of course) directed me to use doxygen to auto-create documentation (originally because I inherited a code base that was to be diagrammed, and I got tired of doing it by hand through Dia Diagram Editor). Now doxygen has turned out to be really quite useful. However there is one thing I still can't seem to make it do: generate an include (or call) diagram for the entire code base. It'll generate an include hierarchy for a single file, or a call diagram for a single function, but I want to see the whole thing (it's not a very large code base :D ).

I was trying to write my own little algorithm for graph layout that only creates a node layout but does not define edge routes. When I use Graphviz to turn the resulting dot file into a graph, the edges are straight lines that cross the nodes and even overlap each other. Is there a way to use Graphviz to layout the edges as nicely as the dot algorithm does, but have the nodes in predetermined fixed positions? You can see the effect for instance on the following graph: digraph test { "a" [pos="0.0,0.0"]; "b" [pos="50.0,50.0"]; "c" [pos="100.0,100.0"]; "a" -> "b"; "a" -> "c"; "b" -> "c"; } When
