Bug #37566 for Graph-Easy: Graphviz (v2.16) output broken

Wed Jul 09 12:47:43 2008 saurabh [...] hotmail.com - Ticket created

Subject:

Graphviz (v2.16) output broken

fcc.txt is the text input. graph-easy fcc.txt --html gives fcc.html which looks great. graph-easy fcc.txt --png gives fcc.png which doesnt. This command also emits a warning which I'm guessing is from the graphviz renderer: < Warning: gvrender_set_style: unsupported style none - ignoring Show quoted text

>

From my trials it seems this will happen with simpler input too. With neato etc as the renderer, the png is different but still incorrect. The main problems as I can see are (1) random edge hookups (2) boxes around nodes (3) overlaps (not here but with neato). I apologize if I'm doing something horribly wrong.

Not at all :) Thank you for your report. I have not tried it yet, but from the input text I see you are using relatively-to-another positioned nodes. graphviz does not support such a feature at all. Or at least it doesn#t without some deep trickery. Graph::Easy tries to build HTML-like labels for nodes to emulate the placement, but this is a relatively new feature and might be buggy and/or incomplete. Also, graphviz has some strange ideas about routing edges when doing such layouts - it does for instane have not any way to route edges through the "empty" parts of HTML-nodes. In any event, I have a look and see if I can improve the output. All the best, tels -- Signed on Wed Jul 9 18:53:55 2008 with key 0x93B84C15.

Moin, I managed to get rid of the warning by changing "style=none" to "shape=none". (Not sure if it now will work with older graphviz versions as I cannot test it). Note that the layout is as "expected", as grapvhiv is basically rendering what Graph::Easy told it, but does not route the edges through the empty parts and keeps the artificially inserted "join" node (the dot on the right side) outside of the node. I am afraid I can't do much about this :( All the best, Tels -- Signed on Wed Jul 9 19:13:18 2008 with key 0x93B84C15.

Looking into this further, I tried to render SVG output, and then convert the result into PNG. This looks like the attached file. I am not sure if this is what you expected, tho :) While doing this, I found a bug in the As_svg part, it was wrongly emmiting start/end attributes for the edge classes. Fixed it now. Thank you for your report! I am gonna close this now, if you need further help or have questions, please just reopen this bug by replying to this email :)

There's no attached file that you mention. Thanks.
