I have a simple dot diagram to show how to perform tests.

PerformTests;                                     PerformTests<---+
PerformTests -> TestsPassed;                            |         |
TestsPassed [shape="diamond"];                          v         |
TestsPassed -> Release [label="Yes"];             TestsPassed     |
TestsPassed -> FixErrors [label="No"];                 Y|  N\     |
FixErrors -> PerformTests;                              v    FixErrors
                                                     Release

The diagram shows square boxes for all nodes, except TestPassed that has a diamond shape. My issue is here. I'd like the edge that goes outside of the diamond for No to be getting out of the diamond at the right (east) instead of oblique down-right (south-east).

           What I have        What I want
                ^                  ^    
               / \                / \   
              <   >              <   >--->  
               \ /\               \ /   
                v  \               v

I've seen such compass_pt in the dot grammar, but cannot figure out how to use it. I what I want possible, and how to do it?
