In the following simple graph

```auto
digraph rounded_record {
    rankdir=LR
    node [shape=record
          style=filled
          style=rounded
          ]
    A [label = <Oben | Unten>]
    B [label = <Arriba | Debajo>]
    A -> B
}

```

I get only the rounded shape:

Or if I remove the `style=rounded` I get _only_ the filled shape:

I guess the `style` attribute can hold only _one_ term…

But can I create rounded and filled record nodes?

Graphviz is a little different in how it sets attribute values, it uses a “last-one-in” scheme instead of “use-them-all”. But not worries, just combine the values in a comma or whitespace string `style="filled,rounded"`. Documentation here [Node Shapes | Graphviz](https://graphviz.org/doc/info/shapes.html#styles-for-nodes)

```auto
digraph rounded_record {
    rankdir=LR
    node [shape=record
          style="filled,rounded" fillcolor=lightblue
          ]
    A [label = <Oben | Unten>]
    B [label = <Arriba | Debajo>]
    A -> B
}

```

Thanks so much @steveroush ! I didn’t think of this very logical way to provide two values to an attribute. You made my day. 😄
