<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.

</TABLE>
<HR>
<H1>Attribute Descriptions</H1>
<DL>
<DT><A NAME=d:Damping HREF=#a:Damping><STRONG>Damping</STRONG></A>
<DD> Factor damping force motions. On each iteration, a nodes movement
is limited to this factor of its potential motion. By being less than
1.0, the system tends to ``cool'', thereby preventing cycling.
<DT><A NAME=d:K HREF=#a:K><STRONG>K</STRONG></A>
<DD> Spring constant used in virtual physical model. It roughly corresponds
to an ideal edge length (in inches), in that increasing K tends to
increase the distance between nodes.
Note that the edge attribute <A HREF=#d:len>len</A> can be used to
override this value for adjacent nodes.
<DT><A NAME=d:URL HREF=#a:URL><STRONG>URL</STRONG></A>
<DD> Hyperlinks incorporated into device-dependent output.
At present, used in ps2, cmap, i*map and svg formats.
For all these formats, URLs can be attached to nodes, edges and
clusters. 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:bb HREF=#a:bb><STRONG>bb</STRONG></A>
<DD> Bounding box of drawing in integer 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 default value is <TT>"UTF-8"</TT>.
The other legal value is <TT>"iso-8859-1"</TT> or,
equivalently,
<TT>"Latin1"</TT>. 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. If defined, it specifies
the context for interpreting color names. In particular, if a
<A HREF=#k:color>color</A> value has form <TT>"xxx"</TT> or <TT>"//xxx"</TT>,
then the
color <TT>xxx</TT> will be evaluated according to the current color scheme.
If no color scheme is set, the standard X11 naming is used.
For example, if <TT>colorscheme=bugn9</TT>, then <TT>color=7</TT>
is interpreted as <TT>"/bugn9/7"</TT>.
<DT><A NAME=d:comment HREF=#a:comment><STRONG>comment</STRONG></A>
<DD> Comments are inserted into output. Device-dependent
<DT><A NAME=d:compound HREF=#a:compound><STRONG>compound</STRONG></A>
<DD> If true, allow edges between clusters. (See <A HREF=#d:lhead>lhead</A>
and <A HREF=#d:ltail>ltail</A> below.)
<DT><A NAME=d:concentrate HREF=#a:concentrate><STRONG>concentrate</STRONG></A>
<DD> If true, use edge concentrators.
<DT><A NAME=d:constraint HREF=#a:constraint><STRONG>constraint</STRONG></A>
<DD> If false, the edge is not used in ranking the nodes. For example,
in the graph
<PRE>
digraph G {
a -> c;
a -> b;
b -> c [constraint=false];
}
</PRE>
the edge <CODE>b -> c</CODE> does not add a constraint during rank
assignment, so the only constraints are that a be above b and c,
yielding the graph:<BR>
<IMG SRC="constraint.gif">
<DT><A NAME=d:decorate HREF=#a:decorate><STRONG>decorate</STRONG></A>
<DD> If true, attach edge label to edge by a 2-segment
polyline, underlining the label, then going to the closest point of spline.
<DT><A NAME=d:defaultdist HREF=#a:defaultdist><STRONG>defaultdist</STRONG></A>
<DD> This specifies the distance between nodes in separate connected
components. If set too small, connected components may overlap.
Only applicable if <A HREF=#d:pack>pack</A>=false.
<DT><A NAME=d:dim HREF=#a:dim><STRONG>dim</STRONG></A>
<DD> Set the number of dimensions used for the layout. The maximum value
allowed is 10.
<DT><A NAME=d:dir HREF=#a:dir><STRONG>dir</STRONG></A>
<DD> Set edge type for drawing arrowheads. This indicates which ends of the
edge should be decorated with an arrowhead. The actual style of the
arrowhead can be specified using the <A HREF=#d:arrowhead>arrowhead</A>
and <A HREF=#d:arrowtail>arrowtail</A> attributes.
See <A HREF=#h:undir_note>limitation</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:diredgeconstraints HREF=#a:diredgeconstraints><STRONG>diredgeconstraints</STRONG></A>
<DD> Only valid when <A HREF=#d:mode>mode</A>="ipsep".
If true, constraints are generated for each edge in the largest (heuristic)
directed acyclic subgraph such that the edge must point downwards.
If "hier", generates level constraints similar to those used with
<A HREF=#d:mode>mode</A>="hier". The main difference is that, in the latter
case, only these constraints are involved, so a faster solver can be used.
<DT><A NAME=d:distortion HREF=#a:distortion><STRONG>distortion</STRONG></A>
<DD> Distortion factor for <A HREF=#d:shape><B>shape</B></A>=polygon.
Positive values cause top part to
be larger than bottom; negative values do the opposite.
<DT><A NAME=d:dpi HREF=#a:dpi><STRONG>dpi</STRONG></A>
<DD> This specifies the expected number of pixels per inch on a display device.
For bitmap output, this guarantees that text rendering will be
done more accurately, both in size and in placement. For SVG output,
it is used to guarantee that the dimensions in the output correspond to
the correct number of points or inches.
<DT><A NAME=d:edgeURL HREF=#a:edgeURL><STRONG>edgeURL</STRONG></A>
<DD> If <B>edgeURL</B> is defined, this is the link used for the non-label
parts of an edge. This value overrides any <A HREF=#d:URL>URL</A>
defined for the edge.
Also, this value is used near the head or tail node unless overridden
by a <A HREF=#d:headURL>headURL</A> or <A HREF=#d:tailURL>tailURL</A> value,
respectively.
See <A HREF=#h:undir_note>limitation</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:edgehref HREF=#a:edgehref><STRONG>edgehref</STRONG></A>
<DD> Synonym for <A HREF=#d:edgeURL>edgeURL</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:edgetarget HREF=#a:edgetarget><STRONG>edgetarget</STRONG></A>
<DD> If the edge has a <A HREF=#d:URL>URL</A> or <A HREF=#d:edgeURL>edgeURL</A>
attribute, this attribute determines which window of the
browser is used
for the URL attached to the non-label part of the edge.
Setting it to "_graphviz" will open a new window if it
doesn't already exist, or reuse it if it does.
If undefined, the value of the <A HREF=#d:target>target</A> is used.
<DT><A NAME=d:edgetooltip HREF=#a:edgetooltip><STRONG>edgetooltip</STRONG></A>
<DD> Tooltip annotation attached to the non-label part of an edge.
This is used only if the edge has a <A HREF=#d:URL>URL</A>
or <A HREF=#d:edgeURL>edgeURL</A> attribute.
<DT><A NAME=d:epsilon HREF=#a:epsilon><STRONG>epsilon</STRONG></A>
<DD> Terminating condition. If the length squared of all energy gradients are
< <B>epsilon</B>, the algorithm stops.
<DT><A NAME=d:esep HREF=#a:esep><STRONG>esep</STRONG></A>
<DD> Fraction to increase polygons (multiply
coordinates by 1 + esep) for purposes of spline edge routing.
This should normally be strictly less than
<A HREF=#d:sep>sep</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:fillcolor HREF=#a:fillcolor><STRONG>fillcolor</STRONG></A>
<DD> Color used to fill the background of a node or cluster
assuming <A HREF=#d:style>style</A>=filled.
If <B>fillcolor</B> is not defined, <A HREF=#d:color>color</A> is
used. (For clusters, if <B>color</B> is not defined,
<A HREF=#d:bgcolor>bgcolor</A> is used.) If this is not defined,
the default is used, except for
<A HREF=#d:shape><B>shape</B></A>=point or when the output
format is MIF,
which use black by default.
<P>
Note that a cluster inherits the root graph's attributes if defined.
Thus, if the root graph has defined a <B>fillcolor</B>, this will override a
<B>color</B> or <B>bgcolor</B> attribute set for the cluster.
<DT><A NAME=d:fixedsize HREF=#a:fixedsize><STRONG>fixedsize</STRONG></A>
<DD> If true, the node size is specified by the values of the
<A HREF=#d:width><B>width</B></A>
and <A HREF=#d:height><B>height</B></A> attributes only
and is not expanded to contain the text label.
<DT><A NAME=d:fontcolor HREF=#a:fontcolor><STRONG>fontcolor</STRONG></A>
<DD> Color used for text.
<DT><A NAME=d:fontname HREF=#a:fontname><STRONG>fontname</STRONG></A>
<DD> Font used for text. This very much depends on the output format and, for
non-bitmap output such as PostScript or SVG, the availability of the font
when the graph is displayed or printed. As such, it is best to rely on
font faces that are generally available, such as Times-Roman, Helvetica or
Courier.
<P>
If Graphviz was built using the
<A HREF=http://pdx.freedesktop.org/~fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html>fontconfig library</A>, the latter library
will be used to search for the font. However, if the <TT>fontname</TT> string
contains a slash character "/", it is treated as a pathname for the font
file, though font lookup will append the usual font suffixes.
<P>
If Graphviz does not use fontconfig, <TT>fontname</TT> will be
considered the name of a Type 1 or True Type font file.
If you specify <TT>fontname=schlbk</TT>, the tool will look for a
file named <TT>schlbk.ttf</TT> or <TT>schlbk.pfa</TT> or <TT>schlbk.pfb</TT>
in one of the directories specified by
the <A HREF=#d:fontpath>fontpath</A> attribute.
The lookup does support various aliases for the common fonts.
<DT><A NAME=d:fontnames HREF=#a:fontnames><STRONG>fontnames</STRONG></A>
<DD> Allows user control of how basic fontnames are represented in SVG output.
If <TT>fontnames</TT> is undefined or <TT>"svg"</TT>,
the output will try to use known SVG fontnames. For example, the
default font <TT>"Times-Roman"</TT> will be mapped to the
basic SVG font <TT>"serif"</TT>. This can be overridden by setting
<TT>fontnames</TT> to <TT>"ps"</TT> or <TT>"gd"</TT>.
In the former case, known PostScript font names such as
<TT>"Times-Roman"</TT> will be used in the output.
In the latter case, the fontconfig font conventions
are used. Thus, <TT>"Times-Roman"</TT> would be treated as
<TT>"Nimbus Roman No9 L"</TT>. These last two options are useful
with SVG viewers that support these richer fontname spaces.
<DT><A NAME=d:fontpath HREF=#a:fontpath><STRONG>fontpath</STRONG></A>
<DD> Directory list used by libgd to search for bitmap fonts if Graphviz
was not built with the fontconfig library.
If <B>fontpath</B> is not set, the environment
variable <TT>DOTFONTPATH</TT> is checked.
If that is not set, <TT>GDFONTPATH</TT> is checked.
If not set, libgd uses its compiled-in font path.
Note that fontpath is an attribute of the root graph.
<DT><A NAME=d:fontsize HREF=#a:fontsize><STRONG>fontsize</STRONG></A>
<DD> Font size, <A HREF=#points>in points</A>, used for text.
<DT><A NAME=d:group HREF=#a:group><STRONG>group</STRONG></A>
<DD> If the end points of an edge belong to the same group, i.e., have the
same group attribute, parameters are set to avoid crossings and keep
the edges straight.
<DT><A NAME=d:headURL HREF=#a:headURL><STRONG>headURL</STRONG></A>
<DD> If <B>headURL</B> is defined, it is
output as part of the head label of the edge.
Also, this value is used near the head node, overriding any
<A HREF=#d:URL>URL</A> value.
See <A HREF=#h:undir_note>limitation</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:headclip HREF=#a:headclip><STRONG>headclip</STRONG></A>
<DD> If true, the head of an edge is clipped to the boundary of the head node;
otherwise, the end of the edge goes to the center of the node, or the
center of a port, if applicable.
<DT><A NAME=d:headhref HREF=#a:headhref><STRONG>headhref</STRONG></A>
<DD> Synonym for <A HREF=#d:headURL>headURL</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:headlabel HREF=#a:headlabel><STRONG>headlabel</STRONG></A>
<DD> Text label to be placed near head of edge.
See <A HREF=#h:undir_note>limitation</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:headport HREF=#a:headport><STRONG>headport</STRONG></A>
<DD> Indicates where on the head node to attach the head of the edge.
In the default case, the edge is aimed towards the center of the node,
and then clipped at the node boundary.
See <A HREF=#h:undir_note>limitation</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:headtarget HREF=#a:headtarget><STRONG>headtarget</STRONG></A>
<DD> If the edge has a <A HREF=#d:headURL>headURL</A>,
this attribute determines which window of the
browser is used
for the URL. Setting it to "_graphviz" will open a new window if it
doesn't already exist, or reuse it if it does.
If undefined, the value of the <A HREF=#d:target>target</A> is used.
<DT><A NAME=d:headtooltip HREF=#a:headtooltip><STRONG>headtooltip</STRONG></A>
<DD> Tooltip annotation attached to the head of an edge. This is used only
if the edge has a <A HREF=#d:headURL>headURL</A> attribute.
<DT><A NAME=d:height HREF=#a:height><STRONG>height</STRONG></A>
<DD> Height of node, in inches. This is taken as the initial, minimum height
of the node. If <A HREF=#d:fixedsize><B>fixedsize</B></A> is true, this
will be the final height of the node. Otherwise, if the node label
requires more height to fit, the node's height will be increased to
contain the label. Note also that, if the output format is dot, the
value given to <B>height</B> will be the final value.
<DT><A NAME=d:href HREF=#a:href><STRONG>href</STRONG></A>
<DD> Synonym for <A HREF=#d:URL>URL</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:image HREF=#a:image><STRONG>image</STRONG></A>
<DD> Gives the name of a file containing an image to be displayed inside
a node. The image file must be in one of the recognized formats,
typically JPEG, PNG, GIF or Postscript, and be able to be converted
into the desired output format.
<P>
Unlike with the <A HREF=#d:shapefile>shapefile</A> attribute,
the image is treated as node
content rather than the entire node. In particular, an image can
be contained in a node of any shape, not just a rectangle.
<DT><A NAME=d:imagescale HREF=#a:imagescale><STRONG>imagescale</STRONG></A>
<DD> Attribute controlling how an image fills its
containing node. In general, the image is given its natural size,
(cf. <A HREF=#d:dpi>dpi</A>),
and the node size is made large enough to contain its image, its
label, its margin, and its peripheries.
Its width and height will also be at least as large as its
minimum <A HREF=#d:width>width</A> and <A HREF=#d:height>height</A>.
If, however, <TT>fixedsize=true</TT>,
the width and height attributes specify the exact size of the node.
<P>
During rendering, in the default case (<TT>imagescale=false</TT>),
the image retains its natural size.
If <TT>imagescale=true</TT>,
the image is uniformly scaled (i.e., its aspect ration is
preserved) to fit inside the node.
At least one dimension of the image will be as large as possible
given the size of the node.
When <TT>imagescale=width</TT>,
the width of the image is scaled to fill the node width.
The corresponding property holds when <TT>imagescale=height</TT>.
When <TT>imagescale=both</TT>,
both the height and the width are scaled separately to fill the node.
<P>
In all cases, if a dimension of the image is larger than the
corresponding dimension of the node, that dimension of the
image is scaled down to fit the node. As with the case of
expansion, if <TT>imagescale=true</TT>, width and height are
scaled uniformly.
<DT><A NAME=d:label HREF=#a:label><STRONG>label</STRONG></A>
<DD> Text label attached to objects.
If a node's <A HREF=#d:shape>shape</A> is record, then the label can
have a <A HREF=shapes.html#record>special format</A>
which describes the record layout.
<DT><A NAME=d:labelURL HREF=#a:labelURL><STRONG>labelURL</STRONG></A>
<DD> If <B>labelURL</B> is defined, this is the link used for the label
of an edge. This value overrides any <A HREF=#d:URL>URL</A>
defined for the edge.
<DT><A NAME=d:labelangle HREF=#a:labelangle><STRONG>labelangle</STRONG></A>
<DD> This, along with <A HREF=#d:labeldistance>labeldistance</A>, determine
where the
headlabel (taillabel) are placed with respect to the head (tail)
in polar coordinates. The origin in the coordinate system is
the point where the edge touches the node. The ray of 0 degrees
goes from the origin back along the edge, parallel to the edge
at the origin.
<P>
The angle, in degrees, specifies the rotation from the 0 degree ray,
with positive angles moving counterclockwise and negative angles
moving clockwise.
<DT><A NAME=d:labeldistance HREF=#a:labeldistance><STRONG>labeldistance</STRONG></A>
<DD> Multiplicative scaling factor adjusting the distance that
the headlabel(taillabel) is from the head(tail) node.
The default distance is 10 points. See <A HREF=#d:labelangle>labelangle</A>
for more details.
<DT><A NAME=d:labelfloat HREF=#a:labelfloat><STRONG>labelfloat</STRONG></A>
<DD> If true, allows edge labels to be less constrained in position.
In particular, it may appear on top of other edges.
<DT><A NAME=d:labelfontcolor HREF=#a:labelfontcolor><STRONG>labelfontcolor</STRONG></A>
<DD> Color used for headlabel and taillabel.
If not set, defaults to edge's fontcolor.
<DT><A NAME=d:labelfontname HREF=#a:labelfontname><STRONG>labelfontname</STRONG></A>
<DD> Font used for headlabel and taillabel.
If not set, defaults to edge's fontname.
<DT><A NAME=d:labelfontsize HREF=#a:labelfontsize><STRONG>labelfontsize</STRONG></A>
<DD> Font size, <A HREF=#points>in points</A>, used for headlabel and taillabel.
If not set, defaults to edge's fontsize.
<DT><A NAME=d:labelhref HREF=#a:labelhref><STRONG>labelhref</STRONG></A>
<DD> Synonym for <A HREF=#d:labelURL>labelURL</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:labeljust HREF=#a:labeljust><STRONG>labeljust</STRONG></A>
<DD> Justification for cluster labels. If "r", the label
is right-justified within bounding rectangle; if "l", left-justified;
else the label is centered.
Note that a subgraph inherits attributes from its parent. Thus, if
the root graph sets <B>labeljust</B> to "l", the subgraph inherits
this value.
<DT><A NAME=d:labelloc HREF=#a:labelloc><STRONG>labelloc</STRONG></A>
<DD> Top/bottom placement of graph and cluster labels.
If the attribute is "t", place label at the top;
if the attribute is "b", place label at the bottom.
By default, root
graph labels go on the bottom and cluster labels go on the top.
Note that a subgraph inherits attributes from its parent. Thus, if
the root graph sets <B>labelloc</B> to "b", the subgraph inherits
this value.
<DT><A NAME=d:labeltarget HREF=#a:labeltarget><STRONG>labeltarget</STRONG></A>
<DD> If the edge has a <A HREF=#d:URL>URL</A> or <A HREF=#d:labelURL>labelURL</A>
attribute, this attribute determines which window of the
browser is used
for the URL attached to the label.
Setting it to "_graphviz" will open a new window if it
doesn't already exist, or reuse it if it does.
If undefined, the value of the <A HREF=#d:target>target</A> is used.
<DT><A NAME=d:labeltooltip HREF=#a:labeltooltip><STRONG>labeltooltip</STRONG></A>
<DD> Tooltip annotation attached to label of an edge.
This is used only if the edge has a <A HREF=#d:URL>URL</A>
or <A HREF=#d:labelURL>labelURL</A> attribute.
<DT><A NAME=d:landscape HREF=#a:landscape><STRONG>landscape</STRONG></A>
<DD> If true, the graph is rendered in landscape mode. Synonymous with
<A HREF=#d:rotate><TT>rotate=90</TT></A> or
<A HREF=#d:orientation><TT>orientation=landscape</TT></A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:layer HREF=#a:layer><STRONG>layer</STRONG></A>
<DD> Specifies layers in which the node or edge is present.
<DT><A NAME=d:layers HREF=#a:layers><STRONG>layers</STRONG></A>
<DD> Specifies a linearly ordered list of layer names attached to the graph
The graph is then output in separate layers. Only those components
belonging to the current output layer appear. For more information,
see the page <A HREF="http://www.graphviz.org/Documentation/html/layers/">How to use drawing layers (overlays)</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:layersep HREF=#a:layersep><STRONG>layersep</STRONG></A>
<DD> Specifies the separator characters used to split the
<A HREF=#d:layers>layers </A>attribute into a list of layer names.
<DT><A NAME=d:len HREF=#a:len><STRONG>len</STRONG></A>
<DD> Preferred edge length, in inches.
<DT><A NAME=d:levelsgap HREF=#a:levelsgap><STRONG>levelsgap</STRONG></A>
<DD> Specifies strictness of level constraints in neato
when <TT><A HREF=#d:mode>mode</A>="ipsep" or "hier"</TT>.
Larger positive values mean stricter constraints, which demand more
separation between levels. On the other hand, negative values will relax
the constraints by allowing some overlap between the levels.
<DT><A NAME=d:lhead HREF=#a:lhead><STRONG>lhead</STRONG></A>
<DD> Logical head of an edge. When <A HREF=#d:compound><B>compound</B></A> is true,
if <B>lhead</B> is defined and is the name of a cluster containing
the real head,
the edge is clipped to the boundary of the cluster.
See <A HREF=#h:undir_note>limitation</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:lp HREF=#a:lp><STRONG>lp</STRONG></A>
<DD> Label position, <A HREF=#points>in points</A>.
The position indicates the center of the label.
<DT><A NAME=d:ltail HREF=#a:ltail><STRONG>ltail</STRONG></A>
<DD> Logical tail of an edge. When <A HREF=#d:compound><B>compound</B></A> is true,
if <B>ltail</B> is defined and is the name of a cluster
containing the real tail,
the edge is clipped to the boundary of the cluster.
See <A HREF=#h:undir_note>limitation</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:margin HREF=#a:margin><STRONG>margin</STRONG></A>
<DD> For graphs, this sets x and y margins of canvas, in inches. If the margin
is a single double, both margins are set equal to the given value.
<P>
Note that the margin is not part of the drawing but just empty space
left around the drawing. It basically corresponds to a translation of
drawing, as would be necessary to center a drawing on a page. Nothing
is actually drawn in the margin. To actually extend the background of
a drawing, see the <A HREF=#d:pad>pad</A> attribute.
<P>
For nodes, this attribute specifies space left around the node's label.
By default, the value is <TT>0.11,0.055</TT>.
<DT><A NAME=d:maxiter HREF=#a:maxiter><STRONG>maxiter</STRONG></A>
<DD> Sets the number of iterations used.
<DT><A NAME=d:mclimit HREF=#a:mclimit><STRONG>mclimit</STRONG></A>
<DD> Multiplicative scale factor used to alter the MinQuit (default = 8)
and MaxIter (default = 24) parameters used during crossing
minimization. These correspond to the
number of tries without improvement before quitting and the
maximum number of iterations in each pass.
<DT><A NAME=d:mindist HREF=#a:mindist><STRONG>mindist</STRONG></A>
<DD> Specifies the minimum separation between all nodes.
<DT><A NAME=d:minlen HREF=#a:minlen><STRONG>minlen</STRONG></A>
<DD> Minimum edge length (rank difference between head and tail).
<DT><A NAME=d:mode HREF=#a:mode><STRONG>mode</STRONG></A>
<DD> Technique for optimizing the layout. If <B>mode</B> is <TT>"major"</TT>,
neato uses stress majorization. If <B>mode</B> is <TT>"KK"</TT>,
neato uses a version of the gradient descent method. The only advantage
to the latter technique is that it is sometimes appreciably faster for
small (number of nodes < 100) graphs. A significant disadvantage is that
it may cycle.
<P>
There are two new, experimental modes in neato, "hier", which adds a top-down
directionality similar to the layout used in dot, and "ipsep", which
allows the graph to specify minimum vertical and horizontal distances
between nodes. (See the <A HREF=#d:sep>sep</A> attribute.)
<DT><A NAME=d:model HREF=#a:model><STRONG>model</STRONG></A>
<DD> This value specifies how the distance matrix is computed for the input
graph. The distance matrix specifies the ideal distance between every
pair of nodes. neato attemps to find a layout which best achieves
these distances. By default, it uses the length of the shortest path,
where the length of each edge is given by its <A HREF=#d:len>len</A>
attribute. If <B>model</B> is <TT>"circuit"</TT>, neato uses the
circuit resistance
model to compute the distances. This tends to emphasize clusters. If
<B>model</B> is <TT>"subset"</TT>, neato uses the subset model. This sets the
edge length to be the number of nodes that are neighbors of exactly one
of the end points, and then calculates the shortest paths. This helps
to separate nodes with high degree.
<DT><A NAME=d:mosek HREF=#a:mosek><STRONG>mosek</STRONG></A>
<DD> If Graphviz is built with MOSEK defined, mode=ipsep and mosek=true,
the Mosek software (www.mosek.com) is use to solve the ipsep constraints.
<DT><A NAME=d:nodesep HREF=#a:nodesep><STRONG>nodesep</STRONG></A>
<DD> Minimum space between two adjacent nodes in the same rank, in inches.
<DT><A NAME=d:nojustify HREF=#a:nojustify><STRONG>nojustify</STRONG></A>
<DD> By default, the justification of multi-line labels is done within the
largest context that makes sense. Thus, in the label of a polygonal
node, a left-justified line will align with the left side of the node
(shifted by the prescribed <A HREF=#d:margin>margin</A>).
In record nodes, left-justified
line will line up with the left side of the enclosing column of fields.
If <B>nojustify</B> is <TT>"true"</TT>, multi-line labels will be justified
in the context of itself. For example, if the attribute is set,
the first label line is long, and the second is shorter and left-justified,
the second will align with the left-most character in the first line,
regardless of how large the node might be.
<DT><A NAME=d:normalize HREF=#a:normalize><STRONG>normalize</STRONG></A>
<DD> If set, normalize coordinates of final
layout so that the first point is at the origin, and then rotate the
layout so that the first edge is horizontal.
<DT><A NAME=d:nslimit HREF=#a:nslimit><STRONG>nslimit</STRONG></A>
,<DT><A NAME=d:nslimit1 HREF=#a:nslimit1><STRONG>nslimit1</STRONG></A>
<DD> Used to set number of iterations in
network simplex applications. <B>nslimit</B> is used in
computing node x coordinates, <B>nslimit1</B> for ranking nodes.
If defined, # iterations = <B>nslimit(1)</B> * # nodes;
otherwise, # iterations = MAXINT.
<DT><A NAME=d:ordering HREF=#a:ordering><STRONG>ordering</STRONG></A>
<DD> If "out" for a graph G, and n is a node in G, then edges n->* appear
left-to-right in the same order in which they are defined.
If "in", the edges *->n appear
left-to-right in the same order in which they are defined for all
nodes n.
<DT><A NAME=d:orientation HREF=#a:orientation><STRONG>orientation</STRONG></A>
<DD> Angle, in degrees, used to rotate node shapes.
<DT><A NAME=dd:orientation HREF=#aa:orientation><STRONG>orientation</STRONG></A>
<DD> If "[lL]*", set graph orientation to landscape
Used only if <A HREF=#d:rotate><B>rotate</B></A> is not defined.
<DT><A NAME=d:outputorder HREF=#a:outputorder><STRONG>outputorder</STRONG></A>
<DD> Specify order in which nodes and edges are drawn.
<DT><A NAME=d:overlap HREF=#a:overlap><STRONG>overlap</STRONG></A>
<DD> Determines if and how node overlaps should be removed. Nodes are first
enlarged using the <A HREF=#d:sep><B>sep</B></A> attribute.
If "true" , overlaps are retained.
If the value is "scale", overlaps are removed by uniformly scaling in x and y.
If the value converts to "false", node overlaps are removed by a
Voronoi-based technique.
If the value is "scalexy", x and y are separately
scaled to remove overlaps.
If the value is "orthoxy" or "orthoyx", overlaps
are moved by optimizing two constraint problems, one for the x axis and
one for the y. The suffix indicates which axis is processed first.
If the value is "ortho", the technique is similar to "orthoxy" except a
heuristic is used to reduce the bias between the two passes.
If the value is "ortho_yx", the technique is the same as "ortho", except
the roles of x and y are reversed.
The values "portho", "porthoxy", "porthoxy", and "portho_yx" are similar
to the previous four, except only pseudo-orthogonal ordering is
enforced.
<P>
If the value is "compress", the layout will be scaled down as much as
possible without introducing any overlaps, obviously assuming there are
none to begin with.
<P>
If the value is "ipsep", and the layout is done by neato with
<A HREF=#d:mode>mode</A>="ipsep", the overlap removal constraints are
incorporated into the layout algorithm itself.
N.B. At present, this only supports one level of clustering.
<P>
If the value is "vpsc", overlap removal is similarly to "ortho", except
quadratic optimization is used to minimize node displacement.
N.B. At present, this mode only works when <A HREF=#d:mode>mode</A>="ipsep".
<P>
Except for fdp, the layouts assume <TT>overlap="true"</TT> as the default.
Fdp first uses a number of passes using built-in, force-directed technique
to remove overlaps. Thus, fdp accepts <B>overlap</B> with an integer
prefix followed by a colon, specifying the number of tries. If there is
no prefix, no initial tries will be performed. If there is nothing following
a colon, none of the above methods will be attempted. By default, fdp
uses <TT>overlap="9:portho"</TT>. Note that <TT>overlap="true"</TT>,
<TT>overlap="0:true"</TT> and <TT>overlap="0:"</TT> all turn off all overlap
removal.
<P>
Except for the Voronoi method, all of these transforms preserve the
orthogonal ordering of the original layout. That is, if the x coordinates
of two nodes are originally the same, they will remain the same, and if
the x coordinate of one node is originally less than the x coordinate of
another, this relation will still hold in the transformed layout. The
similar properties hold for the y coordinates.
This is not quite true for the "porth*" cases. For these, orthogonal
ordering is only preserved among nodes related by an edge.
<P>
<B>NOTE</B>The methods "orthoxy" and "orthoyx" are still evolving. The
semantics of these may change, or these methods may disappear altogether.
<DT><A NAME=d:pack HREF=#a:pack><STRONG>pack</STRONG></A>
<DD> This is true if the value of pack is "true" (case-insensitive) or a
non-negative integer. If true, each connected component of the graph is
laid out separately, and then the graphs are packed tightly.
If pack has an integral value, this is used as the size,
in <A HREF=#points>points</A>, of
a margin around each part; otherwise, a default margin of 8 is used.
If pack is interpreted as false, the entire graph is laid out together.
The granularity and method of packing is influenced by the
<A HREF=#d:packmode>packmode</A> attribute.
<P>
For layouts which always do packing, such a twopi, the <B>pack</B>
attribute is just used to set the margin.
<DT><A NAME=d:packmode HREF=#a:packmode><STRONG>packmode</STRONG></A>
<DD> This indicates the granularity and method used for packing
(cf. <A HREF=#k:packMode>packMode</A>). Note that defining
<B>packmode</B> will automatically turn on packing as though one had
set <B>pack=true</B>.
<DT><A NAME=d:pad HREF=#a:pad><STRONG>pad</STRONG></A>
<DD> The pad attribute specifies how much, in inches, to extend the
drawing area around the minimal area needed to draw the graph.
If the pad is a single double, both the x and y pad values are set
equal to the given value. This area is part of the
drawing and will be filled with the background color, if appropriate.
<P>
Normally, a small pad is used for aesthetic reasons, especially when
a background color is used, to avoid having nodes and edges abutting
the boundary of the drawn region.
<DT><A NAME=d:page HREF=#a:page><STRONG>page</STRONG></A>
<DD> Width and height of output pages, in inches. If this is set and is
smaller than the size of the layout, a rectangular array of pages of
the specified page size is overlaid on the layout, with origins
aligned in the lower-left corner, thereby partitioning the layout
into pages. The pages are then produced one at a time, in
<A HREF=#d:pagedir>pagedir</A> order.
<P>
At present, this only works for PostScript output. For other types of
output, one should use another tool to split the output into multiple
output files. Or use the <A HREF=#d:viewport>viewport</A> to generate
multiple files.
<DT><A NAME=d:pagedir HREF=#a:pagedir><STRONG>pagedir</STRONG></A>
<DD> If the <A HREF=#d:page>page</A> attribute is set and applicable,
this attribute specifies the order in which the pages are emitted.
This is limited to one of the 8 row or column major orders.
<DT><A NAME=d:pencolor HREF=#a:pencolor><STRONG>pencolor</STRONG></A>
<DD> Color used to draw the bounding box around a cluster.
If <B>pencolor</B> is not defined, <A HREF=#d:color><B>color</B></A> is
used. If this is not defined, <A HREF=#d:bgcolor>bgcolor</A> is used.
If this is not defined, the default is used.
<P>
Note that a cluster inherits the root graph's attributes if defined.
Thus, if the root graph has defined a <B>pencolor</B>, this will override a
<B>color</B> or <B>bgcolor</B> attribute set for the cluster.
<DT><A NAME=d:peripheries HREF=#a:peripheries><STRONG>peripheries</STRONG></A>
<DD> Set number of peripheries used in polygonal shapes and cluster
boundaries. Note that
<A HREF=shapes.html#epsf>user-defined shapes</A> are treated as a
form of box shape, so the default
peripheries value is 1 and the user-defined shape will be drawn in
a bounding rectangle. Setting <TT>peripheries=0</TT> will turn this off.
Also, 1 is the maximum peripheries value for clusters.
<DT><A NAME=d:pin HREF=#a:pin><STRONG>pin</STRONG></A>
<DD> If true and the node has a pos attribute on input, neato prevents the
node from moving from the input position. This property can also be specified
in the pos attribute itself (cf. the <A HREF=#d:point>point</A> type).
<DT><A NAME=d:pos HREF=#a:pos><STRONG>pos</STRONG></A>
<DD> Position of node, or spline control points.
For nodes, the position indicates the center of the node.
On output, the coordinates are in <A HREF=#points>points</A>.
<P>
In neato and fdp, pos can be used to set the initial position of a node.
By default, the coordinates are assumed to be in inches. However, the
<A HREF=command.html#d:s>-s</A> command line flag can be used to specify
different units.
<P>
When the <A HREF=command.html#d:n>-n</A> command line flag is used with
neato, it is assumed the positions have been set by one of the layout
programs, and are therefore in points. Thus, <TT>neato -n</TT> can accept
input correctly without requiring a <TT>-s</TT> flag and, in fact,
ignores any such flag.
<DT><A NAME=d:quantum HREF=#a:quantum><STRONG>quantum</STRONG></A>
<DD> If <B>quantum</B> > 0.0, node label dimensions
will be rounded to integral multiples of the quantum.
<DT><A NAME=d:rank HREF=#a:rank><STRONG>rank</STRONG></A>
<DD> Rank constraints on the nodes in a subgraph.
If <B>rank</B>="same", all nodes are placed on the same rank.
If <B>rank</B>="min", all nodes are placed on the minimum rank.
If <B>rank</B>="source", all nodes are placed on the minimum rank, and
the only nodes on the minimum rank belong to some subgraph whose
rank attribute is "source" or "min".
Analogous criteria hold for <B>rank</B>="max" and <B>rank</B>="sink".
(Note: the
minimum rank is topmost or leftmost, and the maximum rank is bottommost
or rightmost.)
<DT><A NAME=d:rankdir HREF=#a:rankdir><STRONG>rankdir</STRONG></A>
<DD> Sets direction of graph layout. For example, if <B>rankdir</B>="LR",
and barring cycles, an edge <CODE>T -> H;</CODE> will go
from left to right. By default, graphs are laid out from top to bottom.
<DT><A NAME=d:ranksep HREF=#a:ranksep><STRONG>ranksep</STRONG></A>
<DD> In dot, this gives the desired rank separation, in inches. This is
the minimum vertical distance between the bottom of the nodes in one
rank and the tops of nodes in the next. If the value
contains "equally", the centers of all ranks are spaced equally apart.
Note that both
settings are possible, e.g., ranksep = "1.2 equally".
In twopi, specifies radial separation of concentric circles.
<DT><A NAME=d:ratio HREF=#a:ratio><STRONG>ratio</STRONG></A>
<DD> Sets the aspect ratio (drawing height/drawing width) for the drawing.
Note that this is adjusted before
the <A HREF=#d:size><B>size</B></A> attribute constraints are enforced.
<P>
If <B>ratio</B> is numeric, it is taken as the desired aspect ratio.
Then, if the actual aspect ratio is less than the desired ratio,
the drawing height is scaled up to achieve the
desired ratio; if the actual ratio is greater than that desired ratio,
the drawing width is scaled up.
<P>
If <B>ratio</B> = "fill" and the <A HREF=#d:size><B>size</B></A>
attribute is set, node positions are scaled, separately in both x
and y, so that the final drawing exactly fills the specified size.
<P>
If <B>ratio</B> = "compress" and the <A HREF=#d:size><B>size</B></A>
attribute is set, dot attempts to compress the initial layout to fit
in the given size. This achieves a tighter packing of nodes but
reduces the balance and symmetry. This feature only works in dot.
<P>
If <B>ratio</B> = "expand", the <A HREF=#d:size><B>size</B></A>
attribute is set, and both the width and the height of the graph are
less than the value in <A HREF=#d:size><B>size</B></A>, node positions are scaled
uniformly until at least
one dimension fits <A HREF=#d:size><B>size</B></A> exactly.
Note that this is distinct from using <A HREF=#d:size><B>size</B></A> as the
desired size, as here the drawing is expanded before edges are generated and
all node and text sizes remain unchanged.
<P>
If <B>ratio</B> = "auto", the <A HREF=#d:page><B>page</B></A>
attribute is set and the graph cannot be drawn on a single page,
then <A HREF=#d:size><B>size</B></A> is set to an ``ideal'' value.
In particular, the size in a given dimension will be the smallest integral
multiple of the page size in that dimension which is at least half the
current size. The two dimensions are then scaled independently to the
new size. This feature only works in dot.
<DT><A NAME=d:rects HREF=#a:rects><STRONG>rects</STRONG></A>
<DD> Rectangles for fields of records, <A HREF=#points>in points</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:regular HREF=#a:regular><STRONG>regular</STRONG></A>
<DD> If true, force polygon to be regular.
<DT><A NAME=d:remincross HREF=#a:remincross><STRONG>remincross</STRONG></A>
<DD> If true and there are multiple clusters, run cross
minimization a second time.
<DT><A NAME=d:resolution HREF=#a:resolution><STRONG>resolution</STRONG></A>
<DD> This is a synonym for the <A HREF=#d:dpi>dpi</A> attribute.
<DT><A NAME=d:root HREF=#a:root><STRONG>root</STRONG></A>
<DD> This specifies nodes to be used as the center of the
layout and the root of the generated spanning tree. As a graph attribute,
this gives the name of the node. As a node attribute (circo only), it
specifies that the node should be used as a central node. In twopi,
this will actually be the central node. In circo, the block containing
the node will be central in the drawing of its connected component.
If not defined,
twopi will pick a most central node, and circo will pick a random node.
<DT><A NAME=d:rotate HREF=#a:rotate><STRONG>rotate</STRONG></A>
<DD> If 90, set drawing orientation to landscape.
<DT><A NAME=d:samehead HREF=#a:samehead><STRONG>samehead</STRONG></A>
<DD> Edges with the same head and the same <B>samehead</B> value are aimed
at the same point on the head.
See <A HREF=#h:undir_note>limitation</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:sametail HREF=#a:sametail><STRONG>sametail</STRONG></A>
<DD> Edges with the same tail and the same <B>sametail</B> value are aimed
at the same point on the tail.
See <A HREF=#h:undir_note>limitation</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:samplepoints HREF=#a:samplepoints><STRONG>samplepoints</STRONG></A>
<DD> If the input graph defines the <A HREF=#d:vertices><B>vertices</B></A>
attribute, and output is dot or xdot, this gives
the number of points used for a node whose shape is a circle or ellipse.
It plays the same role in neato, when adjusting the layout to avoid
overlapping nodes, and in image maps.
<DT><A NAME=d:searchsize HREF=#a:searchsize><STRONG>searchsize</STRONG></A>
<DD> During network simplex, maximum number of edges with negative cut values
to search when looking for one with minimum cut value.
<DT><A NAME=d:sep HREF=#a:sep><STRONG>sep</STRONG></A>
<DD> Fraction to increase polygons (multiply
coordinates by 1 + sep) for purposes of determining overlap. Guarantees
a minimal non-zero distance between nodes.
If unset but <A HREF=#d:esep>esep</A> is defined, <tt>sep</tt> will be
set to <tt>esep/0.8</tt>. If <tt>esep</tt> is unset, the default value
is used.
<P>
When <A HREF=#d:overlap>overlap</A>="ipsep" or "vpsc",
<tt>sep</tt> gives a minimum distance, in inches, to be left between nodes.
In this case, if <tt>sep</tt> is a pointf, the x and y separations can be
specified separately.
<DT><A NAME=d:shape HREF=#a:shape><STRONG>shape</STRONG></A>
<DD> Set the shape of a node.
<DT><A NAME=d:shapefile HREF=#a:shapefile><STRONG>shapefile</STRONG></A>
<DD> (Deprecated) If defined, shapefile specifies a file containing user-supplied node content.
The <A HREF=#d:shape><B>shape</B></A> of the node is set to box.
The image in the shapefile must be
rectangular. The image formats supported as well as the precise semantics of
how the file is used depends on the
<A HREF="http://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/output.html">output format</A>. For further details, see
<A HREF=http://www.graphviz.org/Documentation/html/shapehowto.html#ext_image>External PostScript files</A>.
<P>
There is one exception to this usage.
If <B>shape</B> is set to "epsf", shapefile gives
a filename containing a definition of the node in PostScript.
The graphics defined must be contain all of the
node content, including any desired boundaries.
For further details, see
<A HREF=http://www.graphviz.org/Documentation/html/shapehowto.html#ext_ps>
External PostScript files</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:showboxes HREF=#a:showboxes><STRONG>showboxes</STRONG></A>
<DD> Print guide boxes in PostScript at the beginning of
routesplines if 1, or at the end if 2. (Debugging)
<DT><A NAME=d:sides HREF=#a:sides><STRONG>sides</STRONG></A>
<DD> Number of sides if <A HREF=#d:shape><B>shape</B></A>=polygon.
<DT><A NAME=d:size HREF=#a:size><STRONG>size</STRONG></A>
<DD> Maximum width and height of drawing, in inches.
If defined and the drawing is too large, the drawing is uniformly
scaled down so that it fits within the given size.
<P>
If <TT>size</TT> ends in an exclamation point (<TT>!</TT>),
then it is taken to be
the desired size. In this case, if both dimensions of the drawing are
less than <TT>size</TT>, the drawing is scaled up uniformly until at
least one dimension equals its dimension in <TT>size</TT>.
<P>
Note that there is some interaction between the <B>size</B> and
<A HREF=#d:ratio><B>ratio</B></A> attributes.
<DT><A NAME=d:skew HREF=#a:skew><STRONG>skew</STRONG></A>
<DD> Skew factor for <A HREF=#d:shape><B>shape</B></A>=polygon. Positive values
skew top of polygon to right; negative to left.
<DT><A NAME=d:splines HREF=#a:splines><STRONG>splines</STRONG></A>
<DD> Controls how, and if, edges are represented. If true, edges are drawn as
splines routed around nodes; if false, edges are drawn as line segments.
If set to "", no edges are drawn at all.
<P>
(1 March 2007) The values <TT>line</TT> and <TT>spline</TT> can be
used as synonyms for <TT>false</TT> and <TT>true</TT>, respectively.
In addition, the value <TT>polyline</TT> specifies that edges should be
drawn as polylines.
<P>
By default, the attribute is unset. How this is interpreted depends on
the layout. For dot, the default is to draw edges as splines. For all
other layouts, the default is to draw edges as line segments. Note that
for these latter layouts, if <TT>splines="true"</TT>, this
requires non-overlapping nodes (cf. <A HREF=#d:overlap><B>overlap</B></A>).
If fdp is used for layout and <TT>splines="compound"</TT>, then the edges are
drawn to avoid clusters as well as nodes.
<DT><A NAME=d:start HREF=#a:start><STRONG>start</STRONG></A>
<DD> Parameter used to determine the initial layout of nodes. If unset, the
nodes are randomly placed in a unit square with
the same seed is always used for the random number generator, so the
initial placement is repeatable.
<DT><A NAME=d:style HREF=#a:style><STRONG>style</STRONG></A>
<DD> Set style for node or edge. For cluster subgraph, if "filled", the
cluster box's background is filled.
<DT><A NAME=d:stylesheet HREF=#a:stylesheet><STRONG>stylesheet</STRONG></A>
<DD> A URL or pathname specifying an XML style sheet, used in SVG output.
<DT><A NAME=d:tailURL HREF=#a:tailURL><STRONG>tailURL</STRONG></A>
<DD> If <B>tailURL</B> is defined, it is
output as part of the tail label of the edge.
Also, this value is used near the tail node, overriding any
<A HREF=#d:URL>URL</A> value.
See <A HREF=#h:undir_note>limitation</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:tailclip HREF=#a:tailclip><STRONG>tailclip</STRONG></A>
<DD> If true, the tail of an edge is clipped to the boundary of the tail node;
otherwise, the end of the edge goes to the center of the node, or the
center of a port, if applicable.
<DT><A NAME=d:tailhref HREF=#a:tailhref><STRONG>tailhref</STRONG></A>
<DD> Synonym for <A HREF=#d:tailURL>tailURL</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:taillabel HREF=#a:taillabel><STRONG>taillabel</STRONG></A>
<DD> Text label to be placed near tail of edge.
See <A HREF=#h:undir_note>limitation</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:tailport HREF=#a:tailport><STRONG>tailport</STRONG></A>
<DD> Indicates where on the tail node to attach the tail of the edge.
See <A HREF=#h:undir_note>limitation</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:tailtarget HREF=#a:tailtarget><STRONG>tailtarget</STRONG></A>
<DD> If the edge has a <A HREF=#d:tailURL>tailURL</A>,
this attribute determines which window of the
browser is used
for the URL. Setting it to "_graphviz" will open a new window if it
doesn't already exist, or reuse it if it does.
If undefined, the value of the <A HREF=#d:target>target</A> is used.
<DT><A NAME=d:tailtooltip HREF=#a:tailtooltip><STRONG>tailtooltip</STRONG></A>
<DD> Tooltip annotation attached to the tail of an edge. This is used only
if the edge has a <A HREF=#d:tailURL>tailURL</A> attribute.
<DT><A NAME=d:target HREF=#a:target><STRONG>target</STRONG></A>
<DD> If the object has a URL, this attribute determines which window
of the browser is used for the URL.
See <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/frames.html#adef-target">W3C documentation</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:tooltip HREF=#a:tooltip><STRONG>tooltip</STRONG></A>
<DD> Tooltip annotation attached to the node or edge. If unset, Graphviz
will use the object's <A HREF=#d:label>label</A> if defined.
Note that if the label is a record specification or an HTML-like
label, the resulting tooltip may be unhelpful. In this case, if
tooltips will be generated, the user should set a <TT>tooltip</TT>
attribute explicitly.
<DT><A NAME=d:truecolor HREF=#a:truecolor><STRONG>truecolor</STRONG></A>
<DD> If set explicitly to true or false, the value determines whether or not
internal bitmap rendering relies on a truecolor color model or uses
a color palette.
If the attribute is unset, truecolor is not used
unless there is a <A HREF=#d:shapefile>shapefile</A> property
for some node in the graph.
The output model will use the input model when possible.
<P>
Use of color palettes results in less memory usage during creation of the
bitmaps and smaller output files.
<P>
Usually, the only time it is necessary to specify the truetype model
is if the graph uses more than 256 colors.
However, if one uses <A HREF=#d:bgcolor>bgcolor</A>=transparent with
a color palette, font
antialiasing can show up as a fuzzy white area around characters.
Using <B>truecolor</B>=true avoids this problem.
<DT><A NAME=d:vertices HREF=#a:vertices><STRONG>vertices</STRONG></A>
<DD> If the input graph defines this attribute, the node is polygonal,
and output is dot or xdot, this attribute provides the
coordinates of the vertices of the node's polygon, in inches.
If the node is an ellipse or circle, the
<A HREF=#d:samplepoints>samplepoints</A> attribute affects
the output.
<DT><A NAME=d:viewport HREF=#a:viewport><STRONG>viewport</STRONG></A>
<DD> Clipping window on final drawing.
<DT><A NAME=d:voro_margin HREF=#a:voro_margin><STRONG>voro_margin</STRONG></A>
<DD> Factor to scale up drawing to allow margin for expansion in
Voronoi technique. dim' = (1+2*margin)*dim.
<DT><A NAME=d:weight HREF=#a:weight><STRONG>weight</STRONG></A>
<DD> Weight of edge. In dot, the heavier the weight, the shorter,
straighter and more vertical the edge is. In neato, the heavier the
weight, the more neato will try to place the end points so that the
length of the edge is <A HREF=#d:len>len</A>.
<DT><A NAME=d:width HREF=#a:width><STRONG>width</STRONG></A>
<DD> Width of node, in inches. This is taken as the initial, minimum width
of the node. If <A HREF=#d:fixedsize><B>fixedsize</B></A> is true, this
will be the final width of the node. Otherwise, if the node label
requires more width to fit, the node's width will be increased to
contain the label. Note also that, if the output format is dot, the
value given to <B>width</B> will be the final value.
<DT><A NAME=d:z HREF=#a:z><STRONG>z</STRONG></A>
<DD> Provides z coordinate value for 3D layouts and displays. If the
graph has <A HREF=#d:dim><B>dim</B></A> set to 3 (or more),
neato will use a node's <B>z</B> value
for the z coordinate of its initial position if
its <A HREF=#d:pos><B>pos</B></A> attribute is also defined.
<P>
Even if no <B>z</B> values are specified in the input, it is necessary to
declare a <B>z</B> attribute for nodes, e.g, using <TT>node[z=""]</TT>
in order to get z values on output.
Thus, setting <TT>dim=3</TT> but not declaring <B>z</B> will
cause <TT>neato -Tvrml</TT> to
layout the graph in 3D but project the layout onto the xy-plane
for the rendering. If the <B>z</B> attribute is declared, the final rendering
will be in 3D.

These are the basic set of backward-compatible arrow shapes. In addition,
there is a grammar of <A HREF=arrows.html>arrow shapes</A>
which can be used to describe a collection of 1260 arrow shapes as
modifications of a primitive set of 9 arrows. The basic arrows shown
above contain all of the primitive shapes
(<TT>box</TT>, <TT>crow</TT>, <TT>diamond</TT>,
<TT>dot</TT>, <TT>inv</TT>, <TT>none</tt>,

<DT><A NAME=k:clusterMode><STRONG>clusterMode</STRONG></A>
<DD>"local","global","none"
<DT><A NAME=k:color><STRONG>color</STRONG></A>
<DD>Colors can be specified using one of four formats.
<TABLE><TR><TD>"#%2x%2x%2x"<TD>Red-Green-Blue (RGB)</TR>
<TR><TD>"#%2x%2x%2x%2x"<TD>Red-Green-Blue-Alpha (RGBA)</TR>

<TR><TD>string<TD><A HREF=colors.html>color name</A></TR></TABLE>
The specification for the RGB and RGBA formats are the format strings used by
<TT>sscanf</TT> to scan the color value. Thus, these values have the form
"#RGB" or "#RGBA", where R, G, B, and A each consist of 2 hexidecimal
digits, and can be separated by whitespace. HSV colors have the form of 3
numbers between 0 and 1, separated by whitespace or commas.
<P>
String-valued color specifications are case-insensitive and interpreted
in the context of the current color scheme, as specified by the
<A HREF=#d:colorscheme>colorscheme</A> attribute. If this is undefined,
the X11 naming scheme will be used.
An initial <TT>"/"</TT> character can be used to override the use of
the <TT>colorscheme</TT> attribute. In particular, a single initial
<TT>"/"</TT> will cause the string to be evaluated using the default
X11 naming. If the color value has the form <TT>"/ssss/yyyy"</TT>,
the name <TT>yyyy</TT> is interpreted using the schema <TT>ssss</TT>.
If the color scheme name is empty, i.e., the color has the
form <TT>"//yyyy"</TT>, the <TT>colorscheme</TT> attribute is used.
Thus, the forms <TT>"yyyy"</TT> and <TT>"//yyyy"</TT> are
equivalent.
<P>At present, Graphviz recognizes the default color scheme <TT>X11</TT>,
and the <A HREF="http://www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/c/a/cab38/ColorBrewer/ColorBrewer_intro.html">Brewer color schemes</A>. Please note that Brewer
color schemes are covered by this <A HREF=colors.html#brewer_license>license</A>.

Note that some output formats, e.g., <A HREF="output.html#a:mif">mif</A>,
only support a limited number of specific colors.
<P>
The string value <TT>transparent</TT> can be used to indicate no color.
This is only available in the output formats
ps, svg, fig, vmrl, and the bitmap formats. It can be used whenever a
color is needed but is most useful with
the <A HREF=#d:bgcolor>bgcolor</A> attribute.
Usually, the same effect can be achieved by setting
<A HREF=#d:style>style</A> to <TT>invis</TT>.

<DT><A NAME=k:escString><STRONG>escString</STRONG></A>
<DD>string allowing escape sequences which are replaced according
to the context.
For node attributes, the substring "\N" is replaced by the name of the node,
and the substring "\G" by the name of the graph.
For graph or cluster attributes, the substring "\G" is replaced by the
name of the graph or cluster.
For edge attributes, the substring "\E" is replaced by the name of the edge,
the substring "\G" is replaced by the name of the graph or cluster,
and the substrings "\T" and "\H" by the names of
the tail and head nodes, respectively.
The name of an edge is the string formed from the name of the
tail node, the appropriate edge operator ("--" or "->") and the name of the
head node.
<P>
In addition, if the associated attribute is
<A HREF=#a:label>label</A>,
<A HREF=#a:headlabel>headlabel</A> or <A HREF=#a:taillabel>taillabel</A>,
the escape sequences "\n", "\l" and "\r"
divide the label into lines, centered, left-justified, and right-justified,
respectively.
<DT><A NAME=k:layerList><STRONG>layerList</STRONG></A>
<DD>list of strings separated by characters from the
<A HREF=#a:layersep>layersep</A> attribute (by default, colons,
tabs or spaces), defining <A HREF=#a:layer>layer</A>
names and implicitly numbered 1,2,...
<DT><A NAME=k:layerRange><STRONG>layerRange</STRONG></A>
<DD>layerId or layerId<B>s</B>layerId,<BR> where layerId = "all",
a decimal integer or a <A HREF=#a:layer>layer</A> name.
(An integer i corresponds to layer i.)
The string <B>s</B> consists of 1 or more separator characters specified
by the <A HREF=#a:layersep>layersep</A> attribute.
<DT><A NAME=k:lblString><STRONG>lblString</STRONG></A>
<DD>an <A HREF=#k:escString>escString</A>
or an <A HREF=shapes.html#html>HTML label</A>.
<DT><A NAME=k:outputMode><STRONG>outputMode</STRONG></A>
<DD>"breadthfirst","nodesfirst","edgesfirst"
These specify the order in which nodes and edges are drawn in concrete
output. 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"
These specify the granularity of packing connected components when
the <A HREF=#d:pack>pack</A> attribute is true. A value of "node" causes
packing at the node and edge label, 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.
<DT><A NAME=k:pagedir><STRONG>pagedir</STRONG></A>
<DD>"BL", "BR", "TL", "TR", "RB", "RT", "LB", "LT".
These specify the 8 row or column major orders for traversing a
rectangular array, the first character corresponding to the major
order and the second to the minor order. Thus, for "BL", the
major order is from bottom to top, and the minor order is from left
to right. This means the bottom row is traversed first, from left
to right, then the next row up, from left to right, and so on,
until the topmost row is traversed.
<DT><A NAME=k:point><STRONG>point</STRONG></A>
<DD>"%f,%f"('!') representing the point (x,y). The
optional '!' indicates the
node position should not change (input-only).
<P>
If <A HREF=#d:dim>dim</A> is 3 or more, <B>point</B> may also have
the format "%f,%f,%f"('!') to represent the point (x,y,z).
<DT><A NAME=k:pointf><STRONG>pointf</STRONG></A>
<DD>"%lf,%lf" representing the point (x,y).
<DT><A NAME=k:pointfList><STRONG>pointfList</STRONG></A>
<DD>list of pointf, separated by spaces.
<DT><A NAME=k:portPos><STRONG>portPos</STRONG></A>
<DD>modifier indicating where on a node an edge should be aimed.
It has the form <TT><I>portname</I>[:<I>compass_point</I>]</TT>
or <TT><I>compass_point</I></TT>.
If the first form is used, the corresponding node must either have
<A HREF=shapes.html#record>record</A> shape with one of its fields
having the given <I>portname</I>,
or have an <A HREF=shapes.html#html>HTML-like label</A>, one of
whose components has a <TT>PORT</TT> attribute set to <I>portname</I>.
In this case, the edge is aimed for the center of the corresponding
field.
<P>
If a compass point is used, it must have the form
<TT>"n","ne","e","se","s","sw","w","nw"</TT>. This modifies the edge
placement to aim for the corresponding compass point on the port or,
in the second form where no <I>portname</I> is supplied, on the node
itself.
<P>
This attribute can be attached to an edge using the
<A HREF=#k:headport>headport</A> and
<A HREF=#k:tailport>tailport</A> attributes, or as part of the
edge description as in
<CENTER>
<TT>node1:port1 -> node2:port5:nw;</TT>
</CENTER>
<P>
Note that it is legal to have a portname the same as one of
the compass points. In this case, this reference will be resolved to
the port. Thus, if node <TT>A</TT> has a port <TT>w</TT>, then
<TT>headport=w</TT> will refer to the port and not the compass point.
At present, in this case, there is no way to specify that the compass
point should be used.

<DD>"%d,%d,%d,%d" The rect llx,lly,urx,ury gives the coordinates, in

(urx,ury).
<DT><A NAME=k:shape><STRONG>shape</STRONG></A>
<DD>A string specifying the <A HREF=shapes.html>shape</A> of a node.
There are three
main types of shapes :
<A HREF=shapes.html#polygon>polygon-based</A>,
<A HREF=shapes.html#record>record-based</A> and
<A HREF=shapes.html#epsf>user-defined</A>.

</TABLE>
If a spline has points p<SUB>1</SUB> p<SUB>2</SUB> p<SUB>3</SUB> ... p<SUB>n</SUB>, (n = 1 (mod 3)), the points
correspond to the control points of a B-spline from p<SUB>1</SUB> to p<SUB>n</SUB>. If startp
is given, it touches one node of the edge, and the arrowhead
goes from p<SUB>1</SUB> to startp. If startp is not given, p<SUB>1</SUB> touches a node.
Similarly for p<SUB>n</SUB> and endp.
<DT><A NAME=k:startType><STRONG>startType</STRONG></A>
<DD>has the syntax <TT>[<I>style</I>][<I>seed</I>]</TT>.
<P>
If <I>style</I> is present, it must be one of the strings <TT>"regular"</TT>,
<TT>"self"</TT>, or <TT>"random"</TT>. In the first case, the nodes are
placed regularly about a circle. In the second case,
an abbreviated version of neato is run to obtain the initial layout.
In the last case, the nodes are placed randomly in a unit square.
<P>
If <I>seed</I> is present, it specifies a seed for the random number
generator. If <I>seed</I> is a positive number, this is used as the
seed. If it is anything else,
the current time, and possibly the process id, is used to pick a seed,
thereby making the choice more random. In this case, the seed value
is stored in the graph.
<P>
If the value is just <TT>"random"</TT>, a time-based seed is chosen.
<P>
Note that input positions, specified by a node's
<A HREF=#d:pos>pos</A>
attribute, are only used when the style is <TT>"random"</TT>.

</TABLE>
Note that whitespace characters are ignored, except for names which
can contain them. A
name cannot contain any comma, or left or right parenthesis, and it cannot
begin with a whitespace character.
<P>
At present, the recognized style names are
"dashed", "dotted", "solid", "invis" and "bold" for nodes and edges,
and "filled", "diagonals" and "rounded" for nodes only.
The styles "filled" and "rounded" are recognized for clusters.
Additional styles are available in
device-dependent form. Style lists are passed to device drivers, which
can use this to generate appropriate output.
<P>
The <A NAME=d:setlinewidth><TT>setlinewidth</TT></A> style value can be
used for more control over the width of edges and node borders than is
allowed by <TT>bold</TT>. This style value takes an argument, specifying the
width of the line in <A HREF=#points>points</A>. For example, <TT>style="bold"</TT> is
equivalent to <TT>style="setlinewidth(2)"</TT>.
<DT><A NAME=k:viewPort><STRONG>viewPort</STRONG></A>
<DD>"%lf,%lf,%lf,%lf,%lf" or "%lf,%lf,%lf,'%s'"
<P>
The viewPort <TT>W,H,Z,x,y</TT> or <TT>W,H,Z,N</TT>
specifies a viewport for the final image. The pair (W,H) gives the
dimensions (width and height) of the viewport image, in
<A HREF=#points>points</A>,
in the original graph drawing.
The optional Z is the zoom factor, i.e., the resulting image will be
Z*W by Z*H points in size. By default, Z is 1.
The optional last part is either a pair (x,y) giving the position in the graph, in
<A HREF=#points>points</A>, of the center of the viewport, or the name N
of a node whose center should used as the focus.
By default, the focus is the center of the graph bounding box, i.e.,
(bbx/2,bby/2), where "bbx,bby" is the
value of the bounding box attribute <A HREF=#a:bb>bb</A>.
<P>
Sample values: <TT>50,50,.5,'2.8 BSD'</T> or <TT>100,100,2,450,300</TT>
