• 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 />
