Do not edit. +--> +<HTML VERSION="2.0"> +<HEAD> +<TITLE>Node, Edge and Graph Attributes</TITLE> +</HEAD> +<BODY BGCOLOR=white> +<A NAME="top"></A> +<H1 align=CENTER>Node, Edge and Graph Attributes</H1> +<HR> +The table below describes the attributes used by various Graphviz tools. +The table gives the name of the attribute, the graph components (node, +edge, etc.) which use the attribute and the type of the attribute +(strings representing legal values of that type). Where applicable, the table +also gives a default value for the attribute, a minimum allowed setting +for numeric attributes, and certain restrictions on the use of the attribute. +<P> +All Graphviz attributes are specified by name-value pairs. Thus, to +set the fillcolor of a node <TT>abc</TT>, one would use +<TABLE> +<TR><TD><TT>abc [fillcolor = red]</TT></TR> +</TABLE> +Similarly, to set the arrowhead style of an edge <TT>abc -> def</TT>, +one would use +<TABLE> +<TR><TD><TT>abc -> def [arrowhead = diamond]</TT></TR> +</TABLE> +Further details concerning the setting of attributes can be found +in the description of the +<A HREF="http://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/lang.html">DOT language.</A> +<P> +At present, most device-independent units are either inches or +<A NAME="points"></A> +<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_(typography)">points</A>, +which we take as 72 points per inch. +<P> +<A NAME=h:undir_note><STRONG>Note:</STRONG></A> Some attributes, such as +<A HREF=#d:dir>dir</A> or <A HREF=#d:arrowtail>arrowtail</A>, are +ambiguous when used in +<A HREF="http://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/lang.html">DOT</A> +with an undirected graph since the head and tail of an edge are meaningless. +As a convention, the first time an undirected edge appears, the +<A HREF="http://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/lang.html">DOT</A> +parser will assign the left node as the tail node and the right node as +the head. For example, the edge <TT>A -- B</TT> will have tail <TT>A</TT> +and head <TT>B</TT>. It is the user's responsibility to handle such +edges consistently. If the edge appears later, in the format +<TABLE> +<TR><TD><TT>B -- A [taillabel = "tail"]</TT></TR> +</TABLE> +the drawing will attach the tail label to node <TT>A</TT>. +To avoid possible confusion when such attributes are required, the user +is encouraged to use a directed graph. +If it is important to make the graph appear undirected, this can be +done using the <A HREF=#d:dir>dir</A>, <A HREF=#d:arrowtail>arrowtail</A> +or <A HREF=#d:arrowhead>arrowhead</A> attributes. +<P> +The tools accept standard C representations for <EM>int</EM> and +<EM>double</EM> types. +For the <A NAME=k:bool><EM>bool</EM></A> type, TRUE values are +represented by "true" (case-insensitive) +and any non-zero integer, and FALSE values by "false" (case-insensitive) +and zero. +In addition, there are a variety of specialized types such as +<EM>arrowType</EM>, <EM>color</EM>, +<EM>pointf</EM> and <EM>rankdir</EM>. Legal values for these types are given +at the end. +<P> +In the <A NAME=h:uses><STRONG>Used By</STRONG></A> field, the +characters E, N, G, S and C +represent edges, nodes, the root graph, subgraphs +and cluster subgraphs, respectively. +This field indicates which graph component uses the attribute. +<HR ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="70%" SIZE=3> +<TABLE ALIGN=CENTER> +<TR><TH>Name</TH><TH><A

URL attributes can also be attached to the root graph in ps2, + cmap and i*map formats. This serves as the base URL for relative URLs in the + former, and as the default image map file in the latter. + <P> + For svg, cmapx and imap output, the active area for a node is its + visible image. + For example, an unfilled + node with no drawn boundary will only be active on its label. + For other output, the active area is its bounding box. + The active area for a cluster is its bounding box. + For edges, the active areas are small circles where the edge contacts its head + and tail nodes. In addition, for svg, cmapx and imap, the active area + includes a thin polygon approximating the edge. The circles may + overlap the related node, and the edge URL dominates. + If the edge has a label, this will also be active. + Finally, if the edge has a head or tail label, this will also be active. + <P> + Note that, for edges, the attributes <A HREF=#d:headURL>headURL</A>, + <A HREF=#d:tailURL>tailURL</A>, <A HREF=#d:labelURL>labelURL</A> and + <A HREF=#d:edgeURL>edgeURL</A> allow control of various parts of an + edge. + Also note that, if active areas of two edges overlap, it is unspecified + which area dominates. + +<DT><A NAME=d:arrowhead HREF=#a:arrowhead><STRONG>arrowhead</STRONG></A> +<DD> Style of arrowhead on the head node of an edge. + See also the <A HREF=#d:dir>dir</A> attribute, + and a <A HREF=#h:undir_note>limitation</A>. + +<DT><A NAME=d:arrowsize HREF=#a:arrowsize><STRONG>arrowsize</STRONG></A> +<DD> Multiplicative scale factor for arrowheads. + +<DT><A NAME=d:arrowtail HREF=#a:arrowtail><STRONG>arrowtail</STRONG></A> +<DD> Style of arrowhead on the tail node of an edge. + See also the <A HREF=#d:dir>dir</A> attribute, + and a <A HREF=#h:undir_note>limitation</A>. + +<DT><A NAME=d:aspect HREF=#a:aspect><STRONG>aspect</STRONG></A> +<DD> Target aspect ratio (width of the layout divided by the height) + of the graph drawing. If unset, dot minimizes the total edge length. + For certain graphs, like those with large fan-in or fan-out, this can + lead to very wide layouts. Setting <TT>aspect</TT> will cause dot to try + to adjust the layout to get an aspect ratio close to that specified + by <TT>aspect</TT>. + <P> + By default, dot will do 5 passes attempting to achieve the desired + aspect ratio. For certain graphs, more passes will be needed to get + close enough. The <TT>aspect</TT> attribute can also be used to + specify the maximum number of passes to try. + <P> + At present, there is no mechanism for widening a very tall layout. + Also, the algorithm doesn't handle clusters, nor disconnected graphs. + For the latter case, one can split the pipeline<BR> + <TT>ccomps -x | dot | gvpack | neato -n2</TT> + to get a similar effect. + +<DT><A NAME=d:bb HREF=#a:bb><STRONG>bb</STRONG></A> +<DD> Bounding box of drawing in points. + +<DT><A NAME=d:bgcolor HREF=#a:bgcolor><STRONG>bgcolor</STRONG></A> +<DD> When attached to the root graph, this color is used as the background for + entire canvas. When a cluster attribute, it is used as the initial + background for the cluster. If a cluster has a filled + <A HREF=#d:style>style</A>, the + cluster's <A HREF=#d:fillcolor>fillcolor</A> will overlay the + background color. + <P> + If no background color is specified for the root graph, no graphics + operation are performed on the background. This works fine for + PostScript but for bitmap output, all bits are initialized to something. + This means that when the bitmap output is included in some other + document, all of the bits within the bitmap's bounding box will be + set, overwriting whatever color or graphics where already on the page. + If this effect is not desired, and you only want to set bits explicitly + assigned in drawing the graph, set <B>bgcolor</B>="transparent". + +<DT><A NAME=d:center HREF=#a:center><STRONG>center</STRONG></A> +<DD> If true, the drawing is centered in the output canvas. + +<DT><A NAME=d:charset HREF=#a:charset><STRONG>charset</STRONG></A> +<DD> Specifies the character encoding used when interpreting string input + as a text label.

The <B>charset</B> attribute is case-insensitive. + Note that if the character encoding used in the input does not + match the <B>charset</B> value, the resulting output may be very strange. + +<DT><A NAME=d:clusterrank HREF=#a:clusterrank><STRONG>clusterrank</STRONG></A> +<DD> Mode used for handling clusters. If <B>clusterrank</B> is "local", a + subgraph whose name begins with "cluster" is given special treatment. + The subgraph is laid out separately, and then integrated as a unit into + its parent graph, with a bounding rectangle drawn about it. + If the cluster has a <A HREF=#d:label>label</A> parameter, this label + is displayed within the rectangle. + Note also that there can be clusters within clusters. + At present, the modes "global" and "none" + appear to be identical, both turning off the special cluster processing. + +<DT><A NAME=d:color HREF=#a:color><STRONG>color</STRONG></A> +<DD> Basic drawing color for graphics, not text. For the latter, use the + <A HREF=#d.fontcolor>fontcolor</A> attribute. + <P> + For edges, the value + can either be a single color or a <A HREF=#k:colorList>colorList</A>. + In the latter case, the edge is drawn using parallel splines or lines, + one for each color in the list, in the order given. + The head arrow, if any, is drawn using the first color in the list, + and the tail arrow, if any, the second color. This supports the common + case of drawing opposing edges, but using parallel splines instead of + separately routed multiedges. For example, the graph + <PRE> + digraph G { + a -> b [dir=both color="red:blue"] + } + </PRE> + yields<BR> + <IMG SRC="colorlist.gif"> + +<DT><A NAME=d:colorscheme HREF=#a:colorscheme><STRONG>colorscheme</STRONG></A> +<DD> This attribute specifies a color scheme namespace.

The default "breadthfirst" is the simplest, but when the graph + layout does not avoid edge-node overlap, this mode will sometimes have + edges drawn over nodes and sometimes on top of nodes. If the mode + "nodesfirst" is chosen, all nodes are drawn first, followed by the + edges. This guarantees an edge-node overlap will not be mistaken for + an edge ending at a node. On the other hand, usually for aesthetic + reasons, it may be desirable that all edges appear beneath nodes, even + if the resulting drawing is ambiguous. This can be achieved by choosing + "edgesfirst". + +<DT><A NAME=k:packMode><STRONG>packMode</STRONG></A> +<DD>"node", "clust" , "graph" , "array[_flags][%d]" + <P> + The modes "node", "clust" or "graph" + specify that the components should be packed together tightly, using + the specified granularity. + A value of "node" causes + packing at the node and edge level, with no overlapping of these objects. + This produces a layout with the least area, but it also allows interleaving, + where a node of one component may lie between two nodes in another + component. A value of "graph" does a packing using the bounding box of the + component. Thus, there will be a rectangular region around a component + free of elements of any other component. + A value of "clust" guarantees that top-level clusters are kept intact. + What effect a value has also depends on the layout algorithm. For + example, neato does not support clusters, so a value of "clust" will + have the same effect as the default "node" value. + <P> + The mode "array[_flags][%d]" + indicates that the components should be packed at the + graph level into an array of graphs. By default, the components + are in row-major order, with the number of columns roughly the + square root of the number of components. If the optional flags + contains "c", then column-major order is used. Finally, if the + optional integer suffix is used, this specifies the number of + columns for row-major or the number of rows for column-major. + Thus, the mode "array_c4" indicates array packing, with 4 rows, + starting in the upper left and going down the first column, then + down the second column, etc., until all components are used. + <P> + If the optional flags contains "u", this causes the insertion + order of elements in the array to be determined by user-supplied + values. Each component can specify its sort value by a + non-negative integer using the <A HREF="#d:sortv">sortv</A> attribute. + Components are + inserted in order, starting with the one with the smallest + sort value.
