Hi  
I use graphviz to generate a visual graph.  
I set splines=ortho, and set some edges with multiple colors(see image), such as:  
a-\>b[color="#ff7f00:#33a02c:#1f78b4:#fdbf6f"]

The result like those below, each “color” concentrate together in turning point, and expand behind this point.  
It make sense to draw paralleled color line?
