unflatten − adjust directed graphs to improve layout aspect ratio
unflatten [−f] [−llen] [−clen ] [ −o outfile ] [ files ]
unflatten is a preprocessor to dot that is used to improve the aspect ratio of graphs having many leaves or disconnected nodes. The usual layout for such a graph is generally very wide or tall. unflatten inserts invisible edges or adjusts the minlen on edges to improve layout compaction.
The following options are supported:
−l len |
The minimum length of leaf edges is staggered between 1 and len (a small integer). | ||
−f |
Enables the staggering of the -l option to fanout nodes whose indegree and outdegree are both 1. This helps with structures such as a -> {w x y z} -> b. This option only works if the -l flag is set. | ||
−c len |
Form disconnected nodes into chains of up to len nodes. |
−o outfile
causes the output to be written to the specified file; by default, output is written to stdout.
The following operand is supported:
files |
Names of files containing 1 or more graphs in dot format. If no files operand is specified, the standard input will be used. |
