Table cell sizing issues

Help
1

Hello,

I have a diagram that I want to know why the cells do not respect the size and look bigger than the other cells.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I believe that the table is correctly presented. There are two cells - one containing a table with 3 columns, while the other cell contains a table with 2 columns. The left-hand cell/table is taller, so it sets the overall row height. the right-hand cell/table is shorter, so Graphviz expands it to fill the common row height. e.g. there are fewer rows in the right-hand cell, so thew are made taller.

However, I would expect valign=“top” to allow you to pad the bottom of the right-hand cell/table. But valign=“top” seems to fail in that task.

note 1 valign does not seem to be inherited
note 2 My HTML is very rusty, so take all the above with grains of salt

FYI the HTML table layout code was completely rewritten recently (common: use a standards-based multi-pass algorithm for HTML table layout (48518394) · Commits · graphviz / graphviz · GitLab) though it may not have affected this aspect (vertical stretching).

Thank you for doing this; it’s an amazing effort.

I installed the dev artifacts with the changes you mention.

The images and the dot file were generated with the 12.1.3~dev.20241012.0557 version.

As to rusty HTML, remember the tables are just HTML-like. The semantics fit whatever seems appropriate for Graphviz.

I wasn’t sure exactly how to interpret this, so went back to check. The commit I referenced appears to have no relevant effect on this example:

before:
old

after:
new
