| wolffd@0 | 14 .SH DESCRIPTION |
| wolffd@0 | 15 .B unflatten |
| wolffd@0 | 16 is a preprocessor to |
| wolffd@0 | 17 .B dot |
| wolffd@0 | 18 that is |
| wolffd@0 | 19 used to improve the aspect ratio of graphs having many leaves |
| wolffd@0 | 20 or disconnected nodes. |
| wolffd@0 | 21 The usual layout for such a graph is generally very wide or tall. |
| wolffd@0 | 22 .B unflatten |
| wolffd@0 | 23 inserts invisible edges or adjusts the \fBminlen\fP on edges |
| wolffd@0 | 24 to improve layout compaction. |
| wolffd@0 | 25 .SH OPTIONS |
| wolffd@0 | 26 The following options are supported: |
| wolffd@0 | 27 .TP |
| wolffd@0 | 28 .BI \-l " len" |
| wolffd@0 | 29 The minimum length of leaf edges is staggered |
| wolffd@0 | 30 between 1 and \fIlen\fP (a small integer). |
| wolffd@0 | 31 .TP |
| wolffd@0 | 32 .B \-f |
| wolffd@0 | 33 Enables the staggering of the \fB-l\fP option to fanout nodes whose |
| wolffd@0 | 34 indegree and outdegree are both 1. This helps with structures such |
| wolffd@0 | 35 as \fIa -> {w x y z} -> b\fP. |
| wolffd@0 | 36 This option only works if the \fB-l\fP flag is set. |
| wolffd@0 | 37 .TP |
| wolffd@0 | 38 .BI \-c " len" |
| wolffd@0 | 39 Form disconnected nodes into chains of up to \fIlen\fP nodes. |
| wolffd@0 | 40 .TP |
| wolffd@0 | 41 .BI \-o " outfile" |
| wolffd@0 | 42 causes the output to be written to the specified file; by default, |
| wolffd@0 | 43 output is written to \fBstdout\fP. |
| wolffd@0 | 44 .SH OPERANDS |
| wolffd@0 | 45 The following operand is supported: |
| wolffd@0 | 46 .TP 8 |
| wolffd@0 | 47 .I files |
| wolffd@0 | 48 Names of files containing 1 or more graphs in dot format. |
| wolffd@0 | 49 If no |
| wolffd@0 | 50 .I files |
| wolffd@0 | 51 operand is specified, |
| wolffd@0 | 52 the standard input will be used. |
