there is a line cross node G. how to avoid those situation?
Please provide the input file.
Provided in the main post now
Using the splines attribute will prevent the edges from crossing the node faces - see below.
*sfdp is arguably not the “best” layout engine for this graph. sfdp was designed to handle much larger graphs. It works, but neato and fdp are probably better suited for graphs of this size. neato in particular has the mode and model attributes that will give different layouts.
thanks, I will try splines
for fdp and neato, things look like worse.
neato
fdp
Actually, I was using circo before. Force node alignment by circle solves the problem of lines passing through nodes
thanks.
These nodes should not have an order, so I do not use dot layout.
I will check other layout.
