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
