Re^2: GraphViz decorateP attribute not working?

You were right. The P at the end does appear to be a typo. What through me off was this dot manpage which lists decorateP as one of the edge attributes. I'm not sure what's going on, but switching to decorate => 1 did solve the problem.

What through me off was this dot manpage which lists decorateP as one of the edge attributes. I am going to guess that maybe this is where the typo originated then. It looks though like GraphViz just takes arbitrary attributes, doesn't validate them and then passes them onto the GraphViz binary when it attempts to generate the file. Which would explain why it worked to just do 'decorate'. -stvn	[reply]
