Twopi runs forever on a certain example.Edge label placement in dot is bad, or the layout is very convoluted.Neato runs forever on a certain example.How can I avoid node-edge overlaps in neato?.How can I avoid node overlaps in neato?.I’ve installed Debian Graphviz and it works fine on the command line, but when I execute a Perl/CGI script through Apache, no output is generated.Why aren’t my server-side maps being recognized? I’ve checked the HTML!.Same as above, but I have only node coords, not edges.I already have all the coordinates for the nodes and edges of my graph and just want to use dotty to render it.I already have all the coordinates for the nodes, and I want dot or neato to route the edges.I already have all the coordinates for the nodes and edges of my graph and just want to use dot, neato, or dotty to render it.How can I get rid of the little circles on edges (“edge handles”) in dotty?.Why does dotty report a syntax error on a legal dot file?.Sometimes in dotty, right mouse click shows the global menu but none of the items can be selected.When I have a red edge it shows up as a solid red in PNG and GIF formats, but has a black border when rendered to JPEG.How can I print a big graph on multiple pages?.Record nodes are drawn differently in dot and neato when rankdir=LR.

The nodes are arranged in layers, which are sometimes called “hierarchies”, and then reordered such that the number of edge crossings is minimized. It emphasizes the direction of edges by pointing as many edges as possible into the same direction. The layer-based method was introduced by Sugiyama, Tagawa and Toda in 1981.

This algorithm is very suitable for state machine and activity diagrams, where the direction of edges has an important role. Edges are routed as spline curves and are thus drawn very smoothly. The algorithm aims edges in the same direction (top to bottom, or left to right) and then attempts to avoid edge crossings and reduce edge length.
