The Graphviz attributes documentation describes the style attribute but does not say what values it may hold:
Set style information for components of the graph. For cluster subgraphs, if style="filled", the cluster box's background is filled. If the default style attribute has been set for a component, an individual component can use style="" to revert to the normal default. For example, if the graph has
edge [style="invis"]
making all edges invisible, a specific edge can overrride this via:
a -> b [style=""]
Of course, the component can also explicitly set its style attribute to the desired value.
What is a valid style attribute in Graphviz?
Shape nodes Holds an object's geometry attributes or attributes other than the object's transform node attributes. A shape node is the child of a transform node. A transform node has only one shape node.
How do I use graphviz to convert this into an image? For windows: dl the msi and install; Find gvedit.exe in your programs list; Open . dot file in question; Click running person on toolbar; Go to graph -> settings ; change Output file type to file type of your liking and press ok..
Ranks and Subgraphs To work out the layout, Graphviz uses a system it calls "ranks". Each node is assigned a higher rank than the highest ranked node that point to it. If your rank direction is set to left to right ( rankdir=LR ), then nodes with a higher rank are placed further to the right.
Graphviz (short for Graph Visualization Software) is a package of open-source tools initiated by AT&T Labs Research for drawing graphs specified in DOT language scripts having the file name extension "gv". It also provides libraries for software applications to use the tools.
If you look closely, the same documentation page also specifies a Type named style describing valid styles. Excerpt:
At present, the recognized style names are "dashed", "dotted", "solid", "invis" and "bold" for nodes and edges, "tapered" for edges only, and "filled", "striped", "wedged", "diagonals" and "rounded" for nodes only. The styles "filled", "striped" and "rounded" are recognized for clusters. The style "radial" is recognized for nodes, clusters and graphs, and indicates a radial-style gradient fill if applicable.
