How to define a node shape in graphviz? - graphviz

I want to draw circle as the node in dot. I am using the following simple code which should draw circle. But it draws draws eclipse instead. This is my code :
digraph G {
node [ shape=circle, width=0.5, height = 0.5, fixedsize=true]
Node1 -> Node1 ;
Node1 -> Node2;
Node2 -> Node1;
Node2 -> Node2;
};
This is what I get :
How do I draw circle?

All is absolutely correct in your file. There must be circles.

Using shape="circle" should work, for example:
digraph G {
0 [color="aqua", label="A", shape="circle", style="filled"];
1 [color="bisque", label="B", shape="circle", style="filled"];
2 [color="blue", label="C", shape="circle", style="filled"];
3 [color="blueviolet", label="E", shape="circle", style="filled"];
4 [color="brown", label="D", shape="circle", style="filled"];
5 [color="burlywood", label="F", shape="circle", style="filled"];
6 [color="cadetblue", label="G", shape="circle", style="filled"];
0->0 ;
0->1;
1->4;
2->2;
2->3;
3->4;
4->4;
4->5;
4->6;
5->0;
6->2;
}

digraph G {
node [ shape="circle", width=1, height = 1, fixedsize=true];
s0 -> s0 [label="a -> x = x.a\ny = y.a"];
s0 -> s1 [label="a -> x = x.a\ny = y.a"];
s1 -> s0 [label="a -> x = x.a\ny = y.a"];
s1 -> s1 [label="a -> x = x.a\ny = y.a"];
};
Output is :
Any better way of rendering it?

When rankdir is LR, why are the nodes in the same rank ordered bottom to top instead of top to bottom?

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.

Alignment issue with two clusters using Graphviz and Dot

I'm trying to get the following dot file to output two subgraphs. I want the bLoop node in cluster0 to align with the ISR struct in cluster 2. I'm using an invisible node to do this now, but with the unintended consequence of lot of gray space left in cluster0.
Is there a way to do what I want without the invisible node?
I can't post images yet, so here's the link.
digraph G {
ranksep=.75;
nodesep = 1.5;
node [shape = none]
node[fontsize=16,fixedsize=false,width=0.7,shape=rectangle];
edge[fontsize=16];
ratio=fill;
splines=false;
compound=true;
subgraph cluster0 {
node [style=filled];
style=filled;
color=lightgrey;
label = "Setup and Background Loop";
a0[label = "Peripheral Configs"];
a1[label = "Solar Library Block Configs"];
a2[label = "Enable Interrupts"];
bgLoop[label = "Start Background Loop"];
e0[shape=rectangle, style=invis, fixedsize=true, width=.01];
a0 -> a1 -> a2 -> bgLoop;
bgLoop ->e0[style=invis]
}
subgraph cluster1 {
node [style=filled, shape = "doublecircle"];
start
style="invis"
}
subgraph cluster2 {
node [shape=record,color=white];
style=filled;
color=lightgrey;
label = "ISRs";
struct1 [shape = record, color=white, label="{<f1> Slow ISR | <f2> Fast ISR }"];
}
concentrate = true;
struct1 -> bgLoop[lhead=cluster0, ltail=cluster4, constraint=true];
bgLoop -> struct1[lhead=cluster4, ltail=cluster0, constraint=true];
struct1 -> e0[style=invis, constraint=true];
start -> a0[lhead=cluster0];
}
you need helper nodes to get the correct rank for struct1.
digraph G {
ranksep=.75;
nodesep = 1.5;
node[fontsize=16,fixedsize=false,width=0.7,shape=rectangle];
edge[fontsize=16];
compound=true
subgraph cluster2 { rank="max"
node [shape=record,color=white];
style=filled;
color=lightgrey;
label = "ISRs";
struct1 [shape = record, color=white, label="{<f1> Slow ISR | <f2> Fast ISR }"];
}
subgraph cluster0 {
node [style=filled];
style=filled;
color=lightgrey;
label = "Setup and Background Loop";
a0[label = "Peripheral Configs"];
a1[label = "Solar Library Block Configs"];
a2[label = "Enable Interrupts"];
bgLoop[label = "Start Background Loop"];
a0 -> a1 -> a2 -> bgLoop;
}
subgraph cluster1 {
node [style=filled, shape = "doublecircle"];
start
style="invis"
}
{node [style=invis]; 0; 1; 2; 3; }
{edge [style=invis]; 0->1->2->3->struct1; }
struct1 -> bgLoop[lhead=cluster0, ltail=cluster2, constraint=false];
bgLoop -> struct1[lhead=cluster2, ltail=cluster0, constraint=false];
start -> a0[lhead=cluster0];
}

Adding labels under subgraphs in Graphviz

I use the following code to produce a graph using dot in Graphviz. I have manually included the coordinates of nodes, as I require four disjoint subgraphs placed adjacent to one another, as in the picture.
I would love to add labels under each of the subgraphs: $G_0$, $G_1$, etc. Adding label under subgraph creates a box and ignores my coordinates alignment. Is there any other way, like placing arbitrary text at specified coordinates? I use "dot -Teps -Kfdp -n trees -o t.eps" for compilation.
digraph Trees {
node [shape=circle, style="filled", fixedsize=true,width=0.6]; 0; 1;2; 3;4; 5;6; 7; 8;9;10;11;12;13;14;15;
0[pos = "0,1!"]
1[fillcolor=red, pos = "-1,2!"]
2[pos = "1,2!"]
3 [pos = "0,-0.5!"]
5[label=1, fillcolor=red, pos = "2,2!"]
4[label=0, fillcolor=red, pos = "3,1!"]
6[label=2, pos = "4,2!"]
7[label=3, pos = "3, -0.5!"]
9[label=1, fillcolor=red, pos = "5,2!"]
8[label=0, fillcolor=red, pos = "6,1!"]
10[label=2, pos = "7,2!"]
11[label=3, fillcolor=red, pos = "6, -0.5!"]
12[label=1, fillcolor=red, pos = "8,2!"]
13[label=0, fillcolor=green, pos = "9,1!"]
14[label=2, pos = "10, 2!"]
15[label=3, fillcolor=green, pos = "9, -0.5!"]
overlap=false;
fontsize=10;
subgraph 1{
edge [dir=none] 1->0 2->0 3->0;
}
subgraph 2{
edge [color=red] 5->4;
edge[color=black, dir=none] 6->4 7->4;
}
subgraph 3{
edge [color=red] 9->8 8->11;
edge [color=black, dir=none] 8->10;
}
subgraph 4{
edge [color=green] 12->13; 13->15;
edge [color=black, dir=none] 13->14;
}
}
The sub-graphs can be made disjoint using clusters and the dot layout engine. The same approach will also permit the introduction of cluster labels. They can be placed at the bottom of the cluster as required without creating dummy nodes.
This way, no absolute positions are required, and, the layout is automatically generated even if other nodes are added. The exact position of the nodes change, but the graphs remain topologically unchanged.
digraph Trees { node [shape = circle, style = "filled", fixedsize = true, width=0.4];
edge [dir = none];
layout = dot; overlap = false; fontsize = 10;
graph [labelloc = "b", penwidth = 0];
{ node [fillcolor = "red"];
1; 5 [label = 1]; 4 [label = 0]; 9 [label = 1];
8 [label = 0]; 11 [label = 3]; 12 [label = 1];
}
2; 0; 3; 6 [label = 2]; 7 [label = 3];
10 [label = 2]; 14 [label = 2];
{ node [fillcolor = "green"];
13 [label = 0]; 15 [label = 3];
}
subgraph cluster1{
label = "Subgraph 1";
{ 1; 2; } -> 0 -> 3;
}
subgraph cluster2{
label = "Subgraph 2";
5 -> 4 [color = red, dir = fwd];
6 -> 4 -> 7;
}
subgraph cluster3{
label = "Subgraph 3";
9 -> 8-> 11 [color=red, dir = fwd];
10 -> 8 [color=black];
}
subgraph cluster4{
label = "Subgraph 4";
12 -> 13 -> 15 [color=green, dir = fwd];
14-> 13;
}
}
Instead of using explicit node positions, you may use a simple directed graph combined with some rank constraints, invisible edges and text nodes instead of subgraph labels:
digraph Trees {
fontsize=10;
node [shape=circle, style="filled", fixedsize=true,width=0.6];
{rank=same;
a1[label=1, fillcolor=red];
a2[label=2];
a3[label=1, fillcolor=red];
a4[label=2];
a5[label=1, fillcolor=red];
a6[label=2];
a7[label=1, fillcolor=red];
a8[label=2];
}
node[label=0];
b1;
b2[fillcolor=red];
b3[fillcolor=red];
b4[fillcolor=green];
node[label=3];
c1;
c2;
c3[fillcolor=red];
c4[fillcolor=green];
node[shape=none, fillcolor=transparent];
d1[label="Label 1"];
d2[label="Label 2"];
d3[label="Label 3"];
d4[label="Label 4"];
edge[dir=none];
a1->b1;
a2->b1;
b1->c1;
c1->d1[style=invis];
a3->b2[dir=forward, fillcolor=red, color=red];
a4->b2;
b2->c2;
c2->d2[style=invis];
a5->b3[dir=forward, fillcolor=red, color=red];
a6->b3[dir=forward, fillcolor=red, color=red];
b3->c3;
c3->d3[style=invis];
a7->b4[dir=forward, fillcolor=green, color=green];
a8->b4[dir=forward, fillcolor=green, color=green];
b4->c4;
c4->d4[style=invis];
edge[style=invis];
a2 -> a3;
a4 -> a5;
a6 -> a7;
}

Graphviz .dot node ordering

I'm building a epsilon NFA to recognize a regular expression using the canonical construction. I'm using subgraphs to group various parts of the regular expression. The * operator is giving me particular trouble since dot has decided to move the order of the nodes around. I've tried adding edge weights to force particular edges to be short to keep the order of the edges in line but that does not seem to be working.
What I would like to do is force the nodes in a subgraph in to be placed in a particular order so that the output graph is recognizable as a particular type of (well known) construction. In the example below I would like edges 3, 4, 5 and 6 placed in that order, however the dot places them in the order 6, 3, 4, 5. Any pointers appreciated.
Note that the current weight parameter produces no difference than no weight parameter at all.
I have the following
digraph G {
rankdir = LR;
node [shape = none];
0 [label = "start"];
node [shape = circle];
1 [label = "q1"];
2 [label = "q2"];
3 [label = "q3"];
4 [label = "q4"];
5 [label = "q5"];
node [shape = doublecircle];
6 [label = "q6"];
subgraph re1 {
rank = same;
edge[label = "0"];
1 -> 2;
};
subgraph re2 {
rank = same;
edge[label = "ε"];
3 -> 4 [weight = 10];
edge[label = "1"];
4 -> 5 [weight = 10];
edge[label = "ε"];
5 -> 6 [weight = 10];
5 -> 4 [weight = 1];
6 -> 3 [weight = 1];
};
edge[color=black];
0 -> 1
edge[label = "ε"];
2 -> 3;
}
Here's how I'd write that graph:
First of all, to me this is a graph which goes from top to bottom, not left to right, therefore I removed the rankdir=LR and added rank=same only for nodes 0/1 and nodes 2/3.
I removed all the weights
Most importantly, I added constraint=false to the edges going against the direction of the graph - the one going from node 4 to node 5, and the one from node 6 to node 3.
Here the source:
digraph G {
0 [label = "start", shape = none];
node [shape = circle];
1 [label = "q1"];
2 [label = "q2"];
3 [label = "q3"];
4 [label = "q4"];
5 [label = "q5"];
6 [label = "q6", shape = doublecircle];
{rank = same; 0 -> 1; }
1 -> 2 [label = "0"];
{rank = same; 2 -> 3 [label = "ε"]; }
4 -> 5 [label = "1"];
edge [label = "ε"];
3 -> 4;
5 -> 6;
5 -> 4 [constraint = false];
6 -> 3 [constraint = false];
}
And here's the result:
Now if you want to, you could keep rankdir=LR, just take the markup you posted, remove the weights and add constraint=false to the same edges as I did, it works, too.

graphviz: minor tweaks to make the graph look nicer

I have a test graph here that I would like to tweak to make it look nicer.
Here is the graphviz (dot) source, test6.dot:
digraph G {
ranksep=0.3; size="6.0,6.0";
node [fontsize=11];
subgraph clusterA {
X2 [shape=box];
node [style=filled];
1 -> 2 -> 3 -> X2 -> 5;
6;
7;
label = "A";
color=blue
}
X1 [shape=box];
subgraph clusterB {
node [style=filled];
8;
9;
10 -> 11 -> 12;
12 -> 9;
12 -> 8 -> 13;
13 -> 14;
label = "B";
color=blue
}
subgraph clusterC {
label = "C";
{
node [style="invis"];
gap;
}
node [shape=box];
edge [style="invis"];
X3 -> gap -> X4;
}
14 -> X4 -> 3;
6 -> X1 -> 10;
{ edge [dir="both"];
8 -> X3 -> 7;
}
9 -> X3
}
Questions / changes I would like to make:
I want the flow of nodes 10 -> 11 -> 12 -> 8 -> 13 -> 14 to be in a vertical line (swap 8 and 9 horizontally). How can I do this? (same with 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> X2 -> 5; swap 6 and 1)
I want X1 to be at the same vertical position as 10, and the same horizontal position as 6. How can I do this?
I want 8 and X3 and 7 to be at the same vertical position, also with 14 and X4 and 3. How can I do this?
The ranksep=0.3; statement works great except note that 8 -> 13 -> 14 has a larger gap, as does X3 -> gap -> X4. Why doesn't it obey the ranksep=0.3 rule, and how do I fix this?
Below is the best I can do: phantom nodes and edges help. But I can't seem to encourage a particular ordering in the transverse direction (the other direction from rankdir).
digraph G {
ranksep=0.3; size="6.0,6.0";
rankdir=TB;
node [fontsize=11];
subgraph clusterA {
X2 [shape=box];
label = "A";
color=blue;
node [style=filled];
/* force 1, 6, and 7 to be at the top together,
add enough phantoms to keep things in nice columns */
{
node [style="invis", label=""];
phantom3;
phantom4;
phantom5;
phantom6;
}
rank = same;
1 -> 2 -> 3 -> X2 -> 5;
edge [style="invis"];
6 -> phantom3 -> phantom5;
7 -> phantom4 -> phantom6;
}
subgraph clusterB {
node [style=filled];
label = "B";
color=blue;
/* create an invisible phantom node
to take up space */
{
node [style="invis",label=""];
phantom1;
phantom1b;
}
{ rank=same; 11;
phantom1;
}
10 -> 11 -> 12 -> 8 -> 13 -> 14;
12 -> 9;
phantom1 -> 9 -> phantom1b [style="invis"];
}
/* force X1 to be at the same vertical pos as 10
(this yields a warning though) */
{ rank = same;
X1 [shape=box];
10;
}
6 -> X1;
X1 -> 10 [weight=0.5];
subgraph clusterC {
label = "C";
phantom2 [style="invis", label=""];
node [shape=box];
edge [style="invis"];
X3 -> phantom2 -> X4;
}
9 -> X3 [weight=0.5];
{
edge [weight=20];
14 -> X4 -> 3;
3 -> X4 -> 14 [style="invis"];
/* add a reverse path so graphviz doesn't force 14 above X4 above 3 */
}
{
edge [dir="both", weight=20];
8 -> X3 -> 7;
7 -> X3 -> 8 [style="invis"];
edge [style="invis"];
X4 -> phantom6;
1 -> phantom2;
8 -> phantom2;
}
}
