With visualization: And same graph visualization with msagl

In the first case, graphviz visualizes a good graph. In the second case, the graph begins to grow in width. It seems that the graphviz in the second case ignores implicit connections between clusters and creates markup based on child nodes. Msagl takes into account cluster nodes and creates a graph that is very similar in visualization to the first graph.

Is it possible to achieve the same results in graphviz as in msagl? It may not be the same in msagl, but I would like to receive an image that is more compressed horizontally.

Answer 1

Here is a solution:

• uses splines=ortho. This saves a surprising amount of space not needed for spline edges
• rectangular nodes - reduce wasted space
• combined OssInterface cluster into one parent cluster
• removed common text from node labels
• other tweaks for labels, colors, ...

digraph MyGraph {
  node    [style=filled fillcolor=mistyrose shape=rect height=1.4] 
  graph   [fontcolor=red2 fontsize=16 newrank=true splines=ortho]
  nodesep=.9
  ranksep=.9
