Graphviz and Subgraphs

[borobudur]

Hi, I was wondering if I can configure the
org.neo4j.visualization.graphviz.GraphvizWriter so that I can have
subgraphs or clusters in my graphviz output according to this:

<a href="http://www.graphviz.org/content/cluster">graphviz.org/content/
cluster</a>

Thanks!

Well,
Yes that is possible, you will have to provide your own graph walker (like the one used in the example at blog.neo4j.org) and your own graph style. I have no example here (on mobile) but look at the tests and work from there.

Let us know your progress!

Send from mobile.

Stefan,
Alistair just added some stub code for subgraphs here:

https://github.com/neo4j/community/commit/c392afbf5902e6d5fd649c13ac98df99ca4d4666

You might be interested in contributing more along these lines?

Cheers,

If you can write, you can code - @coderdojomalmo
If you can sketch, you can use a graph database - @neo4j

Hi,

In case it helps, the dot code from that example looks like this:

digraph Neo {

  node [

    fontname = "Bitstream Vera Sans"

    shape = "Mrecord"

    fontsize = "8"

  ]

  edge [

    fontname = "Bitstream Vera Sans"

    fontsize = "8"

  ]

 subgraph cluster_USA {  N13 [

    label = "{Node\[13\]|'name' = 'Emil Eifrém' : String\l'country_of_residence' = 'USA' : String\l}"

  ]

 label = "USA"

 }

 subgraph cluster_Sweden {  N14 [

    label = "{Node\[14\]|'name' = 'Tobias Ivarsson' : String\l'country_of_residence' = 'Sweden' : String\l}"

  ]

  N15 [

    label = "{Node\[15\]|'name' = 'Johan Svensson' : String\l'country_of_residence' = 'Sweden' : String\l}"

  ]

 label = "Sweden"

 }

  N13 -> N14 [

    label = "KNOWS\n"

  ]

  N15 -> N13 [

    label = "KNOWS\n"

  ]

  N14 -> N15 [

    label = "KNOWS\n"

  ]

  N14 -> N13 [

    label = "WORKS_FOR\n"

  ]

}

I've attached a rendered SVG as well.

cheers,

Alistair
