Result of dot.exe | dot.exe -T pdf
Interestingly, this seems to occur only in native mode.
In native mode, a dot call is made to be able to use native position data. The output of the dot call is used in the graphviz display.
The output of such call is (on my system) using graphviz 2.41 the result is:
graph {
graph [bb="0,0,108,36"];
node [label="\N",
shape=circle
];
{
node [shape=box];
1 [height=0.5,
pos="18,18",
width=0.5];
2 [height=0.5,
pos="81,18",
shape=box,
width=0.75];
}
}
There appears to be a graphviz bug: Due to the attribute "circle" set in general in the outer scope, it appears this attribute setting is removed from all nodes in the inner scope. But then the general setting in the inner scope prevails over that in the outer scope.
With such intermediate result/rendered graph, the display in the GraphViewer is correct.
The attachment is the result of the graphviz call that equals "native" mode:
echo graph {{node[ shape=box ];1[ shape=circle ];2;}node[ shape=circle ];} | dot.exe | dot.exe -T pdf >> DoubleExport.pdf
Which corresponds to the (wrong) visualization of two boxes.

Screenshot after bugfixing
The problem has been fixed with Graphviz 2.44.1 and GEF 5.3.2, see the attached 'screenshot after bugfixing'. Resolving as fixed in 5.3.2 (2020-12). |
Created attachment 276397 [details] Screenshot about the bug The DOT Graph View should render the graph definition graph { { node[ shape=box ] 1[ shape=circle ] 2 } node[ shape=circle ] } on the same way that the graphviz executable does (see the attached screenshot).
