I am working on this graph:
digraph "example.gsn.yaml" {
## Elements
"G1" [shape="box", label=<<B>G1</B><BR align="left"/>Goal 1>];
"G2" [shape="box", label=<<B>G2</B><BR align="left"/>Goal 2>];
"G4" [shape="box", label=<<B>G4</B><BR align="left"/>Goal 4>];
"G3" [shape="box", label=<<B>G3</B><BR align="left"/>Goal 3>];
"C1" [shape="box", style="rounded", label=<<B>C1</B><BR align="left"/>Context 1>];
"S1" [shape="parallelogram", label=<<B>S1</B><BR align="left"/>Strategy 1>];
"A1" [shape="oval", label=<<B>A1</B><BR align="left"/>Argument 1>];
"A1":e -> "A1":e [headlabel=< <B>A</B> >, labeldistance=2.5, penwidth=0, arrowhead=none];
"Sn1" [shape="circle", label=<<B>Sn1</B><BR align="left"/>Solution 1>];
"Sn2" [shape="circle", label=<<B>Sn2</B><BR align="left"/>Solution 2>];

"J1":e -> "J1":e [headlabel=< <B>J</B> >, labeldistance=2.5, penwidth=0, arrowhead=none];
## Relations
"G1" -> "G2";
"G1" -> "G3";
"G1" -> "G4";
"G2" -> "S1";
"G4" -> "Sn2";
"G3" -> "Sn1";

{rank = same; "G3"; "C1"; }

"S1" -> "A1" [arrowhead=empty];
{rank = same; "A1"; "S1"; }
{rank = same; "S1"; "J1"; }
}
I would like to minimize crossings.
My preferred layout would be that A1, S1 and J1 are on the same rank in a left-to-right order.
However I cannot find out how to do this.
Can anybody help, please? Thanks in advance.
Many "obvious" solutions did not work (ordering, weight, invisible edges). Putting A1, J1, and S1 inside a cluster does the trick:
digraph "example.gsn.yaml" {

"G2" [shape="box", label=<<B>G2</B><BR align="left"/>Goal 2>];

subgraph clusterg1{
graph[peripheries=0] // no box around the cluster
{rank = same; node[group=g1] edge[style=invis] "A1" -> "S1" -> "J1"}
}

p.s. is the A1->S1 arrow correct?

I'm trying to recreate the following syntax diagram using Graphviz (which will eventually be embedded in Sphinx):
Using the DOT language, I defined the following diagram:
digraph numexpr {
bgcolor="transparent"
{rank = same;
p_0[shape=point];
n_1[shape=block, label="constant", group=g1];
p_1[shape=point]}
n_2[shape=block, label="enumerated-list", group=g1]
n_3[shape=block, label="reference", group=g1]
n_4[shape=block, label="function-call", group=g1]
n_5[shape=block, label="operator-expression", group=g1]
n_6[shape=block, label="iterative-expression", group=g1]
n_7[shape=block, label="conditional-expression", group=g1]
n_8[shape=block, label="logical-expression", group=g1]
{rank = same;
c_1[shape=circle, label="("];
n_9[shape=block, label="numerical-expression", group=g1];
c_2[shape=circle, label=")"]}
p_0 -> n_1 [arrowsize=.5]
p_0 -> n_2 [arrowsize=.5]
p_0 -> n_3 [arrowsize=.5]
p_0 -> n_4 [arrowsize=.5]
p_0 -> n_5 [arrowsize=.5]
p_0 -> n_6 [arrowsize=.5]
p_0 -> n_7 [arrowsize=.5]
p_0 -> n_8 [arrowsize=.5]
p_0 -> c_1 [arrowsize=.5]
c_1 -> n_9 [arrowsize=.5]
n_1 -> p_1 [arrowsize=.5]
n_2 -> p_1 [arrowsize=.5]
n_3 -> p_1 [arrowsize=.5]
n_4 -> p_1 [arrowsize=.5]
n_5 -> p_1 [arrowsize=.5]
n_6 -> p_1 [arrowsize=.5]
n_7 -> p_1 [arrowsize=.5]
n_8 -> p_1 [arrowsize=.5]
n_9 -> c_2 [arrowsize=.5]
c_2 -> p_1 [arrowsize=.5]
edge[style=invis];
n_1 -> n_2
n_2 -> n_3
n_3 -> n_4
n_4 -> n_5
n_5 -> n_6
n_6 -> n_7
n_7 -> n_8
n_8 -> n_9
}
Rendering as follows:
Close but no cigar. How can one manipulate the edges such that the render will look more similar to the original syntax diagram?
Here is an approximation. Done with ~225 lines of dot code and requiring a 3-step process:
dot -Tdot ... >somefile
hand editing somefile to add 18 horizontal edges and adding layout=neato
dot -Tpng somefile >somefile.png
If I had to do it again, I'd generate pos values for both nodes and edges.

In the following example, the nodes in the subgraphs are ordered from the bottom to the top instead of from top to bottom. How can that be reversed, so that the start is top-left and the nodes in the subgraphs are ordered from top to bottom (A1-A4 and B1-B4)?
digraph ab
{
rankdir=LR
splines=ortho
ranksep=1
node[shape = record]
subgraph cluster_0
{
label="A"
{
rank = "same"
state0_anchor [label="", style=invis, width=0]
state0_step0 [label="A1"]
state0_step1 [label="A2"]
state0_step2 [label="A3"]
state0_step3 [label="A4"]
}
state0_anchor->state0_step0[style = invis]
state0_step0 -> state0_step1 -> state0_step2 -> state0_step3
}
state0_step3 -> state0_step0 [constraint=false]
state0_step3 -> state1_step0 [constraint=false]
subgraph cluster_state1
{
label="B"
{
rank = "same"
state1_anchor [label="", style=invis, width=0, height=0]
state1_step0 [label="B1"]
state1_step1 [label="B2"]
state1_step2 [label="B3"]
state1_step3 [label="B4"]
}
state1_anchor->state1_step0[style = invis]
state1_step0 -> state1_step1 -> state1_step2 -> state1_step3
}
state1_step3 -> state0_step0 [constraint=false]
state0_anchor -> state1_anchor[style = invis]
start -> state0_step0
}
In your example, when direction of the edges within the subgraphs are reversed, the nodes will be ordered the way you'd like. Something like this:
state0_step3 -> state0_step2 [dir=rev]
state0_step2 -> state0_step1 [dir=rev]
state0_step1 -> state0_step0 [dir=rev]
state0_step0 -> state0_anchor [style = invis]
The same for state1-nodes.

I have a graphiz project where I would like to position my clusters horizontally from left to right with cluster_c2 (called QGIS) in the middle. I have attempted to use the newrank=true; as described here without success. The current output of my graphviz script is:
My current script is:
digraph {
node [shape=record, fontname="Arial"];
rankdir=LR;
L [label="Line"]
ML [label="Multi-Line"]
QL [label="Line"]
QML [label = "Multi-Line"]
QCS [label = "Circular-String"]
QCC [label = "Compound-Curve"]
P [label="PolyLine"]
subgraph cluster_c1 {
label = "SpatiaLite";
fontname="Arial";
L;
ML;
}
subgraph cluster_c2 {
label = "QGIS";
fontname="Arial";
QL;
QML;
QCS;
QCC;
}
subgraph cluster_c3 {
label = "Shapefile";
fontname="Arial";
P;
}
L -> QL [dir=both];
QCS -> L [color=grey];
QCS -> ML [color=grey];
QCC -> ML [color=grey];
QML -> ML [dir=both];
QCC -> L [ color=grey];
QML-> L [color=grey];
QL -> ML [color=grey];
QCS -> P;
QCC -> P;
QML -> P [dir=both];
QL -> P ;
}
I don't know how it works, but it seems that combination of newrank="true" and rank=same inside each subgraph works:
digraph {
node [shape=record, fontname="Arial"];
newrank=true;
rankdir=LR;
L [label="Line"];
ML [label="Multi-Line"];
QL [label="Line"];
QML [label = "Multi-Line"];
QCS [label = "Circular-String"];
QCC [label = "Compound-Curve"];
P [label="PolyLine"];
subgraph cluster_c1 {
rank=same;
label = "SpatiaLite";
fontname="Arial";
L;
ML;
}
subgraph cluster_c2 {
rank=same;
label = "QGIS";
fontname="Arial";
QL;
QML;
QCS;
QCC;
}
subgraph cluster_c3 {
rank=same;
label = "Shapefile";
fontname="Arial";
P;
}
L -> QL [dir=both];
ML -> QML [dir=both];
QCS -> L [color=grey];
QCS -> ML [color=grey];
QCC -> ML [color=grey];
QCC -> L [ color=grey];
QML-> L [color=grey];
QL -> ML [color=grey];
QCS -> P;
QCC -> P;
QML -> P [dir=both];
QL -> P ;
}
The graph I would like contains a top row; the rightmost node (T3) then points to A. A through E are in a vertical column, C and F are vertically aligned and H, I and J are vertically aligned. Additionally, C, F and H are horizontally aligned and E, G and J are horizontally aligned.
When I add subgraph cluster_0 in front of the already existing subgraphs, i.e. subgraph cluster_0 { rank=same; A -> B -> C-> D-> E; }, the subgraph becomes horizontally aligned...
How can I introduce the cluster without this occurring? Also, the edge from T3 to A is nearly straight. I would be nice if it went straight down, right angled to the left then right angled down to A.
Here is what works:
digraph G { rankdir = LR ranksep = 1.2 nodesep = 0.5
T1 -> T2 -> T3;
{ rank=same; A -> B -> C -> D -> E; }
C -> F
{ rank=same F -> G[style=invis] }
E->G
{ rankdir=LR rank=same H -> I -> J}
F -> H [style=dotted]
G -> J [style=invis]
edge [constraint=false]
T3->A
}
And here is what doesn't work
digraph G { rankdir = LR ranksep = 1.2 nodesep = 0.5
T1 -> T2 -> T3;
subgraph cluster_0 { rank=same; A -> B -> C -> D -> E; }
C -> F
subgraph cluster_1 { rank=same F -> G[style=invis] }
E->G
subgraph cluster_2 { rankdir=LR rank=same H -> I -> J}
F -> H [style=dotted]
G -> J [style=invis]
edge [constraint=false]
T3->A
}
This is about as close as I can get, but the clusters definitely introduce some differences. Also the "almost straight" lines I corrected with splines=ortho. I moved the ABCDE subgraph over with an invisible edge to T1.
digraph G { rankdir=TB ranksep = 0.5 nodesep = 0.5 splines=ortho
{rank=same T1 -> T2 -> T3;}
T1->A [style=invis]
subgraph cluster_0 {rank=min A -> B -> C -> D -> E; }
C -> F
subgraph cluster_1 { rank=same F -> G[style=invis] }
E->G
subgraph cluster_2 { rankdir=LR rank=same H -> I -> J}
F -> H [style=dotted]
G -> J [style=invis]
edge [constraint=false]
T3->A
}
My structure has two main chains with side nodes in sub graphs. Every thing looks nice but when i close the two chains all the boxes in the sub graphs jumps to the right side.
At the end of my code you can remove the "I"->"J" then you can see the best what I mean.
I am not a native English speaker, sorry about my English and I am a graphviz newbie.
digraph G {
size ="6,6";
node [color=black fontsize=12, shape=box, fontname=Helvetica];
subgraph {
rank = same;
"b"->"B"[arrowhead=none];
}
subgraph {
rank=same;
"c"->"C"[arrowhead=none];

rank=same;

}
subgraph {
rank = same;
"P"->"p"[arrowhead=none];
}
"1"->"J";
"I"->"J";
}
and with "I"->"J"; removed:
This is how I'd go about it: Create a cluster for each main chain with its side nodes:
digraph G {
size ="6,6";
node [color=black fontsize=12, shape=box, fontname=Helvetica];
subgraph[style=invis];
subgraph cluster0 {
A -> B -> C -> D -> E -> F -> G -> H -> I;
edge[arrowhead=none];
{rank = same; b->B;}
{rank = same; c->C;}
{rank = same; e->E;}
{rank = same; f->F;}
{rank = same; g->G;}
}
subgraph cluster1 {
K -> L -> M -> N -> O -> P -> 1 -> J;
edge[arrowhead=none];
{rank = same; L->l;}
{rank = same; M->m;}
{rank = same; N->n;}
{rank = same; O->o;}
{rank = same; P->p;}
}
0 -> A;
0 -> K;
I -> J;
}
Resulting in:
