As stated in the Doxygen documentation (Graphs and diagrams), the dot
tool can be downloaded from http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/.
More precisely, the
http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/download.html
is the download page.

The Graphviz 1.7.6 beta 1 for Windows is available now (the notice about
version 1.5 in Doxygen documentation is slightly obsolete).  I personally
did not observe any serious problem with the beta version from Doxygen 
-- except the cut top line of some boxes (I do not know if it is the Doxygen
problem or the dot problem).

With regards,

Petr

Thanks a lot for your help!

RE: [Doxygen-users] DOT Tool for windows

[Prikryl,Petr <PRI...@sk...>]

I have just sent the bug report to the Graphviz guys with
the following example

digraph inheritance
{
  rankdir=LR;
  Node145 [shape="box",label="CDirectorManagerImpl",
           fontsize=10,height=0.23];
}

When you store it inside a.dot and run the dot 1.7.6 beta 1
for Windows this way: 

  dot -Tgif a.dot -o a.gif

you can observe not only the cut top line, but cut also in the
way that shows that the line is not perfectly horizontal.
It can be also read from the PostScript output. I guess that
the the problems of the line cutting and horizontality
are related.  Moreover, it is clear that this bug is not caused 
by Doxygen and cannot (and should not) be adjusted by Doxygen.

For your information, I did not sent any bug report that uses 
doxfont, because I do not know how to work properly
with fonts in dot. Feel free to experiment and report with the
following example which was generated by Doxygen:

digraph inheritance
{
  rankdir=LR;
  Node145 [shape="box",label="CDirectorManagerImpl",fontsize=10,
                 height=0.2,width=0.4,fontname="doxfont",
                 color="black",URL="$classCDirectorManagerImpl.html"];
}

With regards,

Petr

Hi Doxygeners,

here is a message that I have obtained from the Graphviz (dot)
people.  I have to confirm Dimitri's observation that they really
pay attention to the bug reports, and they try to solve the things
quickly.  There still is an (e-mail) discussion between them how
to solve the details around the problem.

Hi,

The notice about Graphviz 1.5 is not so obsolete, because the graphs
generated with new dot are even more broken than 1.5. E.g. 1.5 was only
cutting the tops of the boxes while new one is also mis-calculating the text
size so the text goes out of the box on the right (boxes too small). Looks
quite bad :(

It is so bad that if they pull down 1.5 it will probably make no sense to
use doxygen on windows any more without some archive to keep 1.5.
I wonder if doxygen could not make some adjustments to allow more space for
the boxes to accomodate for the problem - it is not only on windows from
what I know, even thought it seems to work better on Linux.

Best Regards,
Jerzy

Just to be clear: these are bugs in dot, not doxygen.

If this is the case, then I suggest to 
1) subscribe to the graphviz mailing list
   see http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/doc/gvizfaq.html
2) create a broken dot graph using doxygen with DOT_CLEANUP set to NO,
   and package this into a self contained example (dot graph + gif image +
   doxfont.ttf + description what is wrong).
3) send it to the mailing list. I found the authors of graphviz very
   willing to help.

Don't complain on this list if dot is not working properly, since I 
cannot do much about it.

  Dimitri
