IIUC what you want, it's not possible: graph layout depends on dot, an external program that tries to optimize the graphs by minimizing edges length and crossings. To do that, it reorders the nodes, only keeping the "ranks" (levels... IOW all the children of a couple will be on the same line). Too bad dot doesn't have a "genealogical mode"... Remember that what could be appealing for a simple graph could make a complex one (many thousands nodes) unreadable. But some things can be tweaked manually, if you just generate the dot file: it's just text with a simple format, you can modify it manually and run dot to "compile" it to pdf. BYtE, Diego |
