I generate SVGs using Graphviz. When embedded in HTML, the nodes, edges and arrows show an "_anonymous_0" tooltip. Can I get rid of these from within GraphViz?

If your dot source start something like this: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>digraph { </code></pre> it may help to use the following: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>digraph "" { </code></pre> It looks like the name of the graph (<code>digraph mygraph {</code> ) is transformed to a title element (<code><title>mygraph</title></code>). If you omit the name, *anonymous_0* is used instead. But if "" is used, no title element is being created. There may be a better solution to this though...

it may help to use the following:

digraph "" {

It looks like the name of the graph (digraph mygraph { ) is transformed to a title element (<title>mygraph</title>). If you omit the name, *anonymous_0* is used instead. But if "" is used, no title element is being created.
