Hi all - I’m hoping to emulate a brainstorming layout (mindmap/diagram) by flowing the subgraphs around a main idea. Is there a layout + attribute combination in graphviz that would allow me to position the four `subgraph`s in [this

(dot layout engine) around the main idea instead of all clustered below? Ideally, the four subgraphs would be postioned in four quandrants around the main idea, with two being above, and two being below.

Is this a one-time thing or do you want a solution that will work well with many varying inputs? ---

Thanks…the idea is to have it repeatable for varying inputs, so not a one-off. I have the `fdp` engine to help with the spread, though I prefer the dot representation of the data, again just not by putting every subgraph underneath the main idea per the original post.

This uses (invisible - **peripheries=0** ) clusters and a few invisible edges. Pretty repeatable & better(?) that expected. But if you have more than 4 subgraphs, I suggest a major re-think. ```auto digraph { peripheries=0 subgraph clustergroup_000 { "main_idea_title" [width=5.555555555555555, height=1.0416666666666665,
