Error : Command returned non-zero exit status 3221225477

Hi all,

The graph sometimes renders but mostly fails with the above error code and I am not sure why.

I am using the Graphviz Python API.
https://graphviz.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html

The version of Graphviz is 12.0.0.

The purpose is to move the every single node such that the node layers align at the top and not the center.

G = Digraph (
    graph_attr = {
        "rankdir":"BT",
        "splines":"ortho",
        "nodesep" : "1",
        "ranksep" : "1",
        "pad" : "3",
        "margin" : "0"
    },
    node_attr = {
        "shape":"plaintext",
        "margin" : "1,1",
        "fontsize": "3",
        "pin": "true",
        "fixedsize":"true",
        "shape":"rect"
    },
    engine="neato"
)

for n in g.nodes:
    x1 = n._bbox[0].x/1000
    x2 = n._bbox[1].x/1000
    y1 = n._bbox[0].y/1000
    y2 = n._bbox[1].y/1000
    width = x2 - x1
    height = y2 - y1

    pos[n.name] = "%.3f, %.3f!"%((x1+(width/2))*72, (-y1)*72)

    # This line below often fails
    # pos[n.name] = "%.3f, %.3f!"%((x1+(width/2))*72, (-y1-(height/2))*72)

    G.node(
        n.name,
        n.name,
        width = "%.3f"%width,
        height = "%.3f"%height,
        pos = pos[n.name]
    )

for e in g.edges:
    G.edge(e.start, e.end)

G.format = "svg"
G.filename = "%s.dot"%str(uuid4())
G.render(neato_no_op=1, directory = directory)

From:

This is the output for the above.

Can you tell if the exit status is a Python/library thing or if it is a Graphviz thing? (maybe run dot multiple times at the command line level)

Hi @steveroush,

I tested running dot at the command line using dot files from the above for both successful and unsuccessful cases. The dot file for graphs that rendered successfully took only a short time to render with successful output from the command line. On the other hand, graphs that rendered unsuccessfully took a slightly longer time to render and did not provide an output despite the lack of an error message when using verbose(-v).

I used:
dot -Kneato -Tsvg -n1 -v test.dot -o test.svg

Thanks.

What OS (Mac, Windows, Linux, …)?

Hi @steveroush,

Windows 11.

Thanks.

Hi @steveroush,

This is an example of another graph that passes / fails.

This dot file renders successfully.

The positions of each node differ slightly every time but remain in the same layer as I am using graphviz to do the initial layout, thus, the positions of the nodes are not fixed.

Thanks.

Hi @steveroush,

I tested removing the decimal points on a whim by rounding the numbers for pos, and the graph renders successfully without any problems 10/10 times. I am not sure why this occurs though. Is there a limit of less than 3d.p. for floating point numbers for node positions? If there is, shouldn’t the above line (before applying -height/2) have failed more often too?

Thanks.

Seems to be a Windows bug. I ran a loop 100 times with your 1st example on my Linux system and get 100 identical, good results.
Please create an issue here Issues · graphviz / graphviz · GitLab

You might also try removing the pin=true and the ! on the pos values. They are not needed when using the -n option.

@steveroush

Sure, thank you for the help.
