Hi, I need to draw a net of nodes with arrows connecting part of them. The nodes will be located from left to right, horizontally.
I need to set an exact X coordinate and width of each node. I expect that graphviz will find best Y coordinates for each of them according to connections between them. Please advise.
None of the Graphviz layout engines allow specifying only one coordinate directly. But it can probably be accomplished with a bit of pre and/or post-processing.
Are you wanting row (rank) alignment, column alignment, both, or neither?
Maybe a hand sketch would help.
Hi, I want to present the stages of Bigquery job with arrows connecting between them. The stages should be presented by rectangles located horizontally from left to right. The x coordinate will present stage start time on x axis. The width of rectangle (horizontal) will present the time duration of the stage.
Will there be multiple rows or just one?
This diagram (manually created) shows that it may be possible, but the layout is still up in the air.
- Node labels might be a problem (colliding with edges). What might your node labels be?
- Please provide real input data for testing.
- Because success is far from a given, you might also look at networkx (https://networkx.org/).
