I have 4 nodes in row (A,B,C,D). Let’s say I want to route path A->D so that it goes from top of B and bottom of C. I’ve tried to do this: digraph G { A [pos="0,0!", shape=star]; B [pos="100,0!", shape=circle]; C [pos="200,0!", shape=circle]; D [pos="300,0!", shape=box]; A -> D [ pos="s,0,…

You can probably achieve what you want, but no guarantees. Does this A program to "fix" simple edges help?

I don’t understand how to use your script. I’ve tried add edge [edgeType=curved ]; in dot file and after I run gvpr -f alterSimpleEdge.gvpr tmp.dot I get: ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // DIR: 1 // edge: A->D >s,0,0 e,300,0 0,0 0,100 150,100 150,0 …

Oop, division by zero big. Fixable, but I’m away from my computer for another day or two. Try this Define a new point P Pos= halfway between b and c Shape equals point Create two new edges a.n North to p. And p2d.s South Then use needle.n2 to finish this off I think this will work or or at least…

with next trajectory (without s,0,0 e,300,0 0) pos="0,0 \ 0,100 150,100 150,0 \ 150,-100 300,-100 300,0" your script works without errors but gets only comments: ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // DIR: 1 // edge: A->D >0,0 0,100 150,100 150,0 …

make intermediate invisible nodes - is idea, but if nodes are close each other I still need manually calculate how many intermediate points are enough

There is no way to partially position an edge. All or nothing. Maybe this will help: [image] Fun with edges! Show and Tell Did you know that it takes all the Graphviz engines at least 4 points to define an edge, even a straight edge? ( splineType | Graphviz ) …
