Hello,
The main reason I purchased OmniGraffle is to import auto-generated DOT files and manipulate it visually. I have a dot file that looks like this:
digraph ndep {
subgraph cluster_1 {
"orgh-app" [label="orgh-app", pos="160,0!"];
"clamd-app" [label="clamd-app", pos="160,30!"];
"kiosk.az1.qprod.net" [label="kiosk", pos="160,10!"];
"label-translation-app" [label="label-translation-app", pos="160,20!"];
label = "Application Services";
pos = "160,40!";
}
subgraph cluster_2 {
"rushmore-app" [label="rushmore-app", pos="110,0!"];
"jfeapi" [label="jfeapi", pos="110,10!"];
"rcs-app" [label="rcs-app", pos="110,20!"];
"jfeapi"->"rushmore-app" [penwidth="1.5",color="#000000",tooltip="LONG:0\n SHORT:1546"];
label = "JFE";
pos = "110,30!";
}
...
}
It can import this, but the layout engine seems to ignore the pos= attributes. Is there any way to position my nodes (in dot format) manually?
My problem is that once the lines are connected, moving the “nodes” around will not “re-route” the lines… and it’s just not useful for me because there are so many lines to re-route by hand. Is there any way to re-route the lines after I reposition the nodes?? (that would obviate my need to position the nodes manually – I was trying to position the nodes myself, in the hope that the lines will be drawn after the repositioning of the lines)
Any help would be appreciated!
