- You can create images like the above, if you are willing/able to position/locate the nodes yourself
- However, I don’t believe that any of the Graphviz engines will produce a graph anywhere close to the above “on their own” (without lots of user guidance)
Here is a Graphviz file that can be fed to neato (not dot) to produce a copy of your graph. Note the use of the pin and pos attributes
digraph HV {
splines=false
node [label="" width=.2 height=.15 pin=true]

"n5,7" [pos="7,5"]
