HTML-like labels: vertical alignment of nested tables
Hello,
the following dot code
strict graph {
node [label="\N",shape=none];
pack [label=<
<table color="red">
<tr>
<td>
<table color="blue"
valign="bottom"
fixedsize="true" height="50" width="150">
<tr><td></td></tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table color="blue"
valign="bottom"
fixedsize="true" height="250" width="150">
<tr><td></td></tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
>];
}
compiled with dot -Tpng g.dot -o g.png produces this output, as expected:
but if I try to have the two nested tables top aligned, i.e. with
strict graph {
node [label="\N",shape=none];
pack [label=<
<table color="red">
<tr>
<td>
<table color="blue"
valign="top"
fixedsize="true" height="50" width="150">
<tr><td></td></tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
<table color="blue"
valign="top"
fixedsize="true" height="250" width="150">
<tr><td></td></tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
>];
}
I get this unexpected result (the table on the left somehow gets off the outermost table, the small squared cell disappears):
what I am trying to do: the innermost tables represent some records I have. They can be of an arbitrary number of rows, so I want to pack them into the outer table to keep them somehow together. I want them all to be part of the same node, and all top aligned. I produce this programmatically, so fitting tables into tables is simpler than managing the layout of a single, top-level table.
At first glance, it appears to be a bug. The left cell is somehow being positioned too high. (The small squared cell is just being clipped off by the bounding box.) Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to check into this for a while. If possible, please submit this as a bug report at http://www.graphviz.org/content/graphviz-issue-tracker so we can have a record of it. Thanks.
The bug is still there. Has anyone reported this? The workaround is quite ugly and weird.
David,
Just to update you.
The graphviz git repo was moved to gitlab:
https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz
and this issue is recorded now at:
https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/issues/25
Unfortunately the author of this code is very sick, and may not get to work on it.
I may get to it eventually, but I am in the middle of retiring from AT&T and moving house, so it could be months.
Any chance you could dig into the code yourself? I'd be happy to receive patches.

Sorry, no bandwidth.
Kickstarter? Kickrestarter?
Sorry to hear about the illness.

I think I fixed issue#25. gitlab CI is building now.
https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/pipelines
I don't have the CI deployment set up yet, but you can find rpms for centos6, 7 and fedora 27, 28 29 in the artifacts (button to the right of the pipeline.)
I think the windows build is also automatic, but I don't know much about it.
Does that give you what you need?
