#110 arrowtail decoration not appearing in diagrams

[Keith Clarke]

Two people have reported (see comments on http://code.google.com/p/force-metadata-jdbc-driver/wiki/Useage\) that the line end decoration is missing. The .dot files typically have entries like this:

"Allocation__c":"Party__c":w -> "Party__c":"Id":e [arrowhead=none arrowtail=crowodot];

I don't see the problem with dot version 2.22.2 but dot is presently at 2.26.3 so am wondering if this is an incompatible change made in dot especially given this bug:

http://www.graphviz.org/bugs/b1951.html

and that the .dot files that SchemaSpy 4.1.1 outputs do not appear to have an explicit "dir" value set.

It's strange that they'd make a change that requires explicitly setting that property. Try the latest beta (http://schemaspy.sourceforge.net/schemaSpy.jar) and let me know if that resolves the issue.

Thanks,
John

Seems I've been wasting your time. I just installed graphviz version 2.26.3 and could not reproduce the problem even before trying your latest beta. So no change is needed on your part and the cause of the missing decoration remains a mystery.

Sorry.

I was definitely able to reproduce the problem with 2.26.3 that I downloaded yesterday (the 12th). I wonder if they slid in an update without changing the version. The one I have gives tons of missing font warnings, but still works well (when setting an explicit "dir").
