VocabularygraphvizClass descriptionRepresents a Graphviz edge. Each
edge is defined by its
tail slot and its
head slot. Each slot must be either
| • | a string representing the id of a node or |
| • | a subgraph, which is a convenient way to represent multiple Graphviz edges. |
In particular, using
subgraphs gives us shorthand forms for the following cases:
| head is a string... | head is a subgraph... |
| tail is a string... | edge from tail node
to head node | edge from tail node
to each node in head |
| tail is a subgraph... | edge from each node in tail
to head node | edge from each node in tail
to each node in head |
For more details, see
graphviz.render.
In addition, an
edge may store local attributes in its
attributes slot (an
edge-attributes tuple).
NotesBy convention, an
edge orders its endpoints "from"
tail "to"
head, even if it belongs to an undirected
graph, where such a distinction is generally meaningless. See the Graphviz documentation (
http://graphviz.org/Documentation.php), and specifically the notes about ambiguous attributes (in
http://graphviz.org/content/attrs) for more information.
