I’m trying to create a “title” type node and center it above all the other nodes. So far I’ve been unable to do so. Everything I try seems to not center it where I want it, or it messes with the edges of the other nodes. I’ll put my current implementation and what it looks like below: digraph { ra…

The uneven placement of nodes is a side-effect of rankdir=LR. That is easy to fix. Here are two “close” solutions: Here we had to go to HTML because same-rank edges to-from records are broken. // fix irregular node positions by changing rankdir to TB // rankdir=LR ranksep=.25 { rank=source //…

Is this what you want? Make the label a graph attribute (not a node attribute) ( label | Graphviz ) Use the labelloc attribute to position it at the top digraph { rankdir=LR ranksep=.25 graph [label=CBADAABDRRBN fontsize=30 labelloc=t] 0 [label="(" color=green style=filled] 1 [label="(" color=green…

Hi Steve, thanks for the response! And apologies, I think I jumped the gun a bit in making this post. I think I need to work at the node level and not at the graph level because I want to put multiple nodes at this top level. I’ll show what I mean below: [nfa_state_0] I’d like to have the Current…

My monthly PSA: the forum supports code blocks with Graphviz syntax highlighting: ```dot digraph { like -> so[with="a label"]; } ``` which produces: digraph { like -> so[with="a label"]; }

Thanks, edited to include that!

Perfect, this is exactly what I wanted but I didn’t believe it was possible to actually implement in GraphViz. Thanks so much!

Out of curiosity, which did you like?

The second version that used highlighting. If you want to see the animated version, I just made it public here: GitHub - aydinschwa/Regex-Engine: Educational, animated regular expression engine Again, thanks so much for your help. I couldn’t have done it without you!
