6.4.4 Edge Bending If a graph contains nodes of different sizes, an edge starting at a very small node may be drawn through a neighbored large node. This situation is avoided by bending edges at certain points. In addition, if an orthogonal layout method is selected, the edges are bent so that only orthogonal line segments exist. 6.5 Drawing Finally, the graph is drawn in a window or exported to a file. Edges can be drawn as polygon segments or splines, however spline drawing is slower (indicated by the d message). Export into PostScript, SVG, or bitmap formats (BMP, PNG, etc. ) is also possible. 6.6 Message Characters <strong>Graph</strong> layout and drawing is a rather complex process. aiSee issues messages in the form of a single character to indicate its state (see Table 7). This is useful in following the progress of layout calculation and for tuning layout speed (see p. 40).

In most cases uppercase and lowercase keys produce the same effect. Which commands are available depends on the window/dialog box that is currently open. Table 10 shows the keyboard commands available in the graph window. 121
