I am trying to draw a graph showing search prefixes using twopi. I have a simple input file and am getting this output:
Here is the input file:
digraph search {
// ordering=out;
// color=blue;
// rank=same;
// overlap=scale;
rankdir=LR;
root=root;
ranksep=1.25;
overlap=true;
"root";

I'm posting here because the printout is pretty dreadful. All of the nodes hung of "gaz" are overlapping; I've tried specifying nodesep
and it is simply ignored. I would like to see the lines from root to the single letters further apart, but again, I can't control that.
This seems to be a bug in twopi. The documentation says it should clearly follow these directives, but it doesn't seem to.
My questions:
- Is there any way to make twopi behave?
- Failing that, is there a better layout engine to use?
Thanks.
