min sets the minimum number of iterations for rubberbanding. This works in a manner<br />
similar to the pendulum method.<br />
rmax sets the maximum number of iterations for rubberbanding. Reducing this factor increases<br />
layout calculation speed.<br />
• scaling<br />
Type: a float value or maxspect<br />
Default value: 1.0<br />
Attribute of: top-level graph, subgraphs<br />
<strong>Description</strong>:<br />
This attribute specifies the scaling factor for graph representation. A scaling factor of 1.0<br />
means normal size. maxspect scales a graph so that the entire graph fits into the graph<br />
window.<br />
When specified for the top-level graph, this attribute determines the size of the entire graph<br />
including all the subgraphs. When specified for a subgraph it determines the scaling factor<br />
of the summary node of the folded subgraph. The size of a boxed subgraph is not affected,<br />
however the size of the subgraph nodes may still be affected.<br />
For details, see shrink/strech (p. 83).<br />
• shape<br />
Type:<br />
box, rhomb, ellipse, circle, triangle,<br />
trapeze, uptrapeze, hexagon, lparallelogram, rparallelogram<br />
Default value: box<br />
Attribute of: subgraphs<br />
<strong>Description</strong>:<br />
Specifies the shape of the summary node of a folded subgraph (see node attribute shape<br />
(p. 97) for a description of shapes).<br />
• shrink, stretch<br />
Type: integer<br />
Default value: 1 for both<br />
Attribute of: top-level graph, subgraphs<br />
<strong>Description</strong>:<br />
These two attributes specify the shrinking and stretching factors for the representation of the<br />
top-level graph. The scaling of the graph as a percentage is given by the formula ((stretch /<br />
shrink) * 100).<br />
For instance, (stretch, shrink) = (1, 1) or (2, 2) or (3, 3) or ... is normal size, (stretch, shrink)<br />
= (1, 2) is half size, and (stretch, shrink) = (2, 1) is double size. The scaling factor can also<br />
be specified via the scaling (p. 83).<br />
– top-level graph<br />
When these attributes are specified for the top-level graph, they determine the size of<br />
the entire graph including all the subgraphs.<br />
– subgraphs<br />
When specified for a subgraph they determine the scaling factor of the summary node<br />
