• fontname<br />
Type: string<br />
Default value: default font is drawn by turtle graphics routines<br />
Attribute of: node<br />
<strong>Description</strong>:<br />
This attribute specifies a pixel font different from the default font and used for drawing the<br />
text labels of summary nodes. The font is given by the name of the aiSee font file containing<br />
the font description, for example a 12-point Times Roman font can be specified via<br />
fontname: "timR12". Note: If the font file is not in the current directory the environment<br />
variable AISEEFONTS has to be set to the directory containing the font description<br />
files. For details on fonts, see p. 106.<br />
• height<br />
Type: integer<br />
Default value: (node label height) pixels<br />
Attribute of: node<br />
<strong>Description</strong>:<br />
This attribute specifies the height of a node including the border. See also node attribute<br />
width (p. 99).<br />
• horizontal_order<br />
Type: integer<br />
Default value: none (corresponds to −1)<br />
Attribute of: node<br />
<strong>Description</strong>:<br />
In a hierarchical layout, this attribute specifies the horizontal position of a node within a<br />
level (see node attribute vertical_order, p. 98). Nodes specified by horizontal positions are<br />
ordered according to these positions within levels. Nodes without this attribute are inserted<br />
in this ordering by the crossing reduction mechanism (see p. 118).<br />
Note: Connected components are handled separately during crossing reduction, thus it is not<br />
possible to intermix nodes of different connected components in one ordering sequence. For<br />
example, one connected component consists of nodes A, B, C and another one of nodes D<br />
and E, which are all positioned at the same level. Then, for instance, it is not possible to<br />
specify the following horizontal order at level 0: A, D, C, E.<br />
Note further: If the algorithm for downward laid-out trees is used, the specified horizontal<br />
order is only retained within nodes that are children of the same node, i. e. in case of<br />
downward laid-out trees it is not possible to specify a horizontal order for the entire level.<br />
• iconfile<br />
Type: string<br />
Default value: no default value<br />
Attribute of: node<br />
<strong>Description</strong>:<br />
This attribute specifies the bitmap file (format: raw PBM, PPM) to be displayed in the node.<br />
Note: If the bitmap file to be displayed is not in the current directory the environment variable<br />
