Hello,

I've exported the sample graph from the wiki first with the zest-dot and then with the original dot (from graphviz). The generated dots were not the same.

Is there a way to generate the same dot or was this never the goal from the beginning?

Best wishes,
ilhami visne

Hi Ilhami!

I'm not sure I understand what you mean exactly... which sample graph from the wiki are you referring to?

If you want to export a DOT file rendered in the Zest graph view to an image file using the original DOT input, you can check the 'Use original DOT input for export' button (third from the right side).

Cheers,
Fabian

Hi Fabian,

Sorry, i could not make myself clear.

> which sample graph from the wiki are you referring to?
The one from this link: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Zest/DOT :
digraph s{ 
 n1[label="Node 1"]; n2[label="Node 2"]; 
 n1 -> n2[style=dotted label="A dotted edge"]
}


I've exported this with Zest this using the following code:
String graphStr = "digraph s{ n1[label=\"Node 1\"]; n2[label=\"Node 2\"];"
		+ " n1 -> n2[style=dotted label=\"A dotted edge\"]}";
Shell shell = new Shell();
DotGraph graph = new DotGraph(graphStr, shell, SWT.NONE);
System.out.println(graph.toDot());


This gives me:
digraph DotGraph{
	/* Global settings */
	graph[layout=dot]
	node[shape=box] //more like the Zest default node look
	rankdir=TD
	/* Nodes */
	1879952853[label="Node 1"];
	440702060[label="Node 2"];
	/* Edges */
	1879952853 -> 440702060[style=dotted label="A dotted edge"];
}


The same graph using the dot without any specific parameter generates:
digraph simple {
        graph [bb="0,0,117,124"];
        node [label="\N"];
        n1       [height=0.5,
                label="Node 1",
                pos="37,106",
                width=1.0375];
        n2       [height=0.5,
                label="Node 2",
                pos="37,18",
                width=1.0375];
        n1 -> n2         [label="A dotted edge",
                lp="77,62",
                pos="e,37,36.084 37,87.597 37,75.746 37,59.817 37,46.292",
                style=dotted];
}


I was referring to this difference. I hope this time it is clear.

Thanks,
ilhami

Hi Ilhami,

OK, I think I understand - you're calling the Graphviz dot executable on a dot file without any parameters, causing it to output what they call 'attributed dot'. I wasn't aware that this option exists. And I have no idea what it is good for Smile

So no, it was never a goal of the Zest DOT export to generate the same output. I don't think it would be possible either, since the 'attributed dot' output contains Graphviz rendering information, and rendering will always be different in Zest.

Is there any concrete issue you have due to this?

Cheers,
Fabian

Hello,
I'm having a little trouble with the Eclipse Kepler zest plugin - it doesn't render the graph's style and shape attributes at all. I mean, if I give a dot graph to the plugin, it doesn't reflect the node colors and shapes, whereas if I run it through the graphviz application, it exports a beautiful image. Now I can't figure out if it's because I'm missing something in Eclipse, or is it a limitation from the plugin.
Thank you in advance, I will appreciate any help.
