The <B>xdot</B> format extends the
115
146
<B>dot</B> format by providing much more detailed information about
116
147
how graph components are drawn. It relies on additional attributes
117
for nodes, edges and graphs. The format is preliminary; comments and
148
for nodes, edges and graphs.
150
The format is preliminary; comments and
118
151
suggestions for better representations are welcome.
152
To allow for changes in the format, Graphviz attaches the attribute
153
<TT>xdotversion</TT> to the graph.
120
155
At present, additional drawing attributes are only attached to nodes
121
156
and edges. There are six new attributes:
132
167
The value of these attributes consists of the concatenation of some
133
168
(multi-)set of the following 12 rendering or attribute operations.
169
(The number is parentheses gives the xdot version when the operation
170
was added to the format. If no version number is given, the operation
171
was in the original specification.)
