NAME
       patchwork - filter for drawing clustered	graphs as treemaps

SYNOPSIS
       patchwork  [-(G|N|E)name=value]	[-Tlang]  [-llibfile] [-ooutfile] [-O]
       [-P] [-v] [-V] [files]

DESCRIPTION
       patchwork draws clustered graphs	using a	squarified treemap layout.  As
       input, it takes any graph in the	dot format. Each cluster is  given  an
       area  based  on	the  areas specified by	the clusters and nodes it con-
       tains. The areas	of nodes and empty clusters can	be  specified  by  the
       area attribute.	The default value is 1.

       The  root  graph	is laid	out as a square. Then, recursively, the	region
       of a cluster or graph is	partitioned  among  its	 top-level  nodes  and
       clusters, with each given a roughly square subregion with its specified
       area.

OUTPUT FORMATS
       Patchwork uses an extensible plugin mechanism for its output renderers,
       so  to  see what	output formats your installation of patchwork supports
       you can use ``patchwork -Txxx'' (where xxx is an	unlikely  format)  and
       check  the warning message.  Also, The plugin mechanism supports	multi-
       ple implementations of the output formats.  To see  what	 variants  are
       available,  use,	 for example: ``patchwork -Tpng:'' and to force	a par-
       ticular variant,	use, for example: ``patchwork -Tpng:gd''

       Traditionally, patchwork	supports  the  following:  -Tps	 (PostScript),
       -Tsvg -Tsvgz (Structured	Vector Graphics), -Tfig	(XFIG graphics), -Tmif
       (FrameMaker  graphics),	-Thpgl	(HP pen	plotters), and -Tpcl (Laserjet
       printers), -Tpng	-Tgif (bitmap graphics), -Timap	 (imagemap  files  for
       httpd  servers  for  each  node	or edge	that has a non-null "href" at-
       tribute.), -Tcmapx (client-side imagemap	for use	in  html  and  xhtml).
       Additional  less	 common	 or more special-purpose output	formats	can be
       found at	https://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/output.html.)

       Alternative plugins providing support for a given output	format can  be
       found from the error message resulting from appending a ':' to the for-
       mat. e.g. -Tpng:	The first plugin listed	is always the default.

GRAPH FILE LANGUAGE
       Here  is	 a synopsis of the graph file language,	normally using the ex-
       tension .gv, for	graphs:

       [strict]	(graph|digraph)	name { statement-list }
       Is the top level	graph. If the graph is strict then multiple edges  are
       not  allowed  between  the  same	 pairs	of nodes.  If it is a directed
       graph, indicated	by digraph, then the edgeop must be "->". If it	is  an
       undirected graph	then the edgeop	must be	"--".  Statements may be:

       name=val;
       node [name=val];
       edge [name=val];
       Set  default graph, node, or edge attribute name	to val.	 Any subgraph,
       node, or	edge appearing after this inherits the new default attributes.

       n0 [name0=val0,name1=val1,...]; Creates node n0 (if it does not already
       exist) and sets its attributes according	to the optional	list.

       n0 edgeop n1 edgeop ... edgeop nn [name0=val0,name1=val1,...];
       Creates edges between nodes n0, n1, ...,	nn and sets  their  attributes
       according to the	optional list.	Creates	nodes as necessary.

       [subgraph name] { statement-list	}
       Creates	a  subgraph.  Subgraphs	may be used in place of	n0, ..., nn in
       the above statements to create edges.  [subgraph	name] is optional;  if
       missing,	the subgraph is	assigned an internal name.

       Comments	may be /*C-like*/ or //C++-like.

       Attribute names and values are ordinary (C-style) strings.  The follow-
       ing sections describe attributes	that control graph layout.

GRAPH ATTRIBUTES
       size="x,y" sets bounding	box of drawing in inches.

       page="x,y" sets the PostScript pagination unit.

       ratio=f	sets  the aspect ratio to f which may be a floating point num-
       ber, or one of the keywords fill, compress, or auto.

       pagedir=[TBLR][TBLR] sets the major and minor order of pagination.

       rotate=90 sets landscape	mode.  (orientation=land is backward  compati-
       ble but obsolete.)

       center=n	a non-zero value centers the drawing on	the page.

       layers="id:id:id:id" is a sequence of layer identifiers for overlay di-
       agrams.	 The  PostScript array variable	layercolorseq sets the assign-
       ment of colors to layers. The least index is 1 and each element must be
       a 3-element array to be interpreted as a	color coordinate.

       color=colorvalue	sets foreground	color (bgcolor for background).

       href="url" the default url for image map	files;	in  PostScript	files,
       the  base URL for all relative URLs, as recognized by Acrobat Distiller
       3.0 and up.

       URL="url" ("URL"	is a synonym for "href".)

       stylesheet="file.css" includes a	reference to a stylesheet in -Tsvg and
       -Tsvgz outputs.	Ignored	by other formats.

       splines.	If set to true,	edges are drawn	as splines.  If	set  to	 poly-
       line,  edges  are drawn as polylines.  If set to	ortho, edges are drawn
       as orthogonal polylines.	 In all	of these  cases,  the  nodes  may  not
       overlap.	  If  splines=false  or	 splines=line, edges are drawn as line
       segments.  The default is false.

NODE ATTRIBUTES
       height=d	or width=d  sets  minimum  height  or  width.	Adding	fixed-
       size=true forces	these to be the	actual size (text labels are ignored).

       shape=record polygon epsf builtin_polygon
       builtin_polygon	is  one	of: plaintext ellipse oval circle egg triangle
       box diamond trapezium parallelogram  house  hexagon  octagon  note  tab
       box3d  component.   (Polygons  are defined or modified by the following
       node attributes:	regular, peripheries, sides,  orientation,  distortion
       and  skew.)   epsf uses the node's shapefile attribute as the path name
       of an external EPSF file	to be automatically loaded for the node	shape.

       label=text where	text may include escaped newlines \n, \l,  or  \r  for
       center, left, and right justified lines.	 The string '\N' value will be
       replaced	 by  the node name.  The string	'\G' value will	be replaced by
       the graph name.	Record labels may contain recursive box	 lists	delim-
       ited  by	{ | }.	Port identifiers in labels are set off by angle	brack-
       ets < >.	 In the	graph file, use	colon (such as,	node0:port28).

       fontsize=n sets the label type size to n	points.

       fontname=name sets the label font family	name.

       color=colorvalue	sets the outline color,	and the	default	fill color  if
       style=filled and	fillcolor is not specified.

       fillcolor=colorvalue  sets  the	fill  color when style=filled.	If not
       specified, the fillcolor	when style=filled defaults to be the  same  as
       the outline color.

       fontcolor=colorvalue sets the label text	color.

       A  colorvalue  may  be  "h,s,v"	(hue, saturation, brightness) floating
       point numbers between 0 and 1, or an X11	color name such	as white black
       red green blue yellow magenta cyan or burlywood,	or a  "#rrggbb"	 (red,
       green, blue, 2 hex characters each) value.

       style=filled solid dashed dotted	bold invis or any Postscript code.

       layer=id	 or  id:id  or "all" sets the node's active layers.  The empty
       string means no layers (invisible).

       The following attributes	apply only to polygon shape nodes:

       regular=n if n is non-zero then the polygon is made regular, i.e.  sym-
       metric  about  the x and	y axis,	otherwise the polygon takes on the as-
       pect ratio of the label.	 builtin_polygons that are not already regular
       are made	regular	by this	attribute.  builtin_polygons that are  already
       regular are not affected	(i.e.  they cannot be made asymmetric).

       peripheries=n sets the number of	periphery lines	drawn around the poly-
       gon.    This   value  supersedes	 the  number  of  periphery  lines  of
       builtin_polygons.

       sides=n sets the	number of sides	to the polygon.	n<3 results in an  el-
       lipse.  This attribute is ignored by builtin_polygons.

       orientation=f  sets  the	 orientation  of the first apex	of the polygon
       counterclockwise	from the vertical, in degrees.	f may  be  a  floating
       point  number.	The  orientation of labels is not affected by this at-
       tribute.	 This  attribute  is  added  to	 the  initial  orientation  of
       builtin_polygons.

       distortion=f  sets the amount of	broadening of the top and narrowing of
       the bottom of the polygon  (relative  to	 its  orientation).   Floating
       point  values  between  -1 and +1 are suggested.	 This attribute	is ig-
       nored by	builtin_polygons.

       skew=f sets the amount of right-displacement of the top	and  left-dis-
       placement  of  the bottom of the	polygon	(relative to its orientation).
       Floating	point values between -1	and +1 are suggested.  This  attribute
       is ignored by builtin_polygons.

       href="url"  sets	 the  url for the node in imagemap, PostScript and SVG
       files.  The substrings '\N' and '\G' are	substituted in the same	manner
       as for the node label attribute.	 Additionally the  substring  '\L'  is
       substituted with	the node label string.

       URL="url" ("URL"	is a synonym for "href".)

       target="target"	is  a target string for	client-side imagemaps and SVG,
       effective when nodes have a URL.	 The target string is used  to	deter-
       mine  which  window  of the browser is used for the URL.	 Setting it to
       "_graphviz" will	open a new window if  it  doesn't  already  exist,  or
       reuse  it if it does.  If the target string is empty, the default, then
       no target attribute is included in the output.  The substrings '\N' and
       '\G' are	substituted in the same	manner	as  for	 the  node  label  at-
       tribute.	  Additionally the substring '\L' is substituted with the node
       label string.

       tooltip="tooltip" is a tooltip string  for  client-side	imagemaps  and
       SVG,  effective	when nodes have	a URL.	The tooltip string defaults to
       be the same as the label	string,	but this attribute permits nodes with-
       out labels to still have	tooltips thus permitting denser	 graphs.   The
       substrings  '\N'	and '\G' are substituted in the	same manner as for the
       node label attribute.  Additionally the substring '\L'  is  substituted
       with the	node label string.

EDGE ATTRIBUTES
       label=text  where  text	may include escaped newlines \n, \l, or	\r for
       centered, left, or right	justified lines.  If  the  substring  '\T'  is
       found  in  a  label  it will be replaced	by the tail_node name.	If the
       substring '\H' is found in a label it will be replaced by the head_node
       name.  If the substring '\E' value is found in a	label it will  be  re-
       placed  by:  tail_node_name->head_node_name  If	the  substring '\G' is
       found in	a label	it will	 be  replaced  by  the	graph  name.   or  by:
       tail_node_name--head_node_name for undirected graphs.

       fontsize=n sets the label type size to n	points.

       fontname=name sets the label font family	name.

       fontcolor=colorvalue sets the label text	color.

       style=solid dashed dotted bold invis

       color=colorvalue	sets the line color for	edges.

       color=colorvaluelist  a ':' separated list of colorvalue	creates	paral-
       lel edges, one edge for each color.

       dir=forward back	both none controls arrow direction.

       tailclip,headclip=false disables	endpoint shape clipping.

       href="url" sets the url for the node in imagemap,  PostScript  and  SVG
       files.  The substrings '\T', '\H', '\E' and '\G'	are substituted	in the
       same  manner  as	 for  the edge label attribute.	 Additionally the sub-
       string '\L' is substituted with the edge	label string.

       URL="url" ("URL"	is a synonym for "href".)

       target="target" is a target string for client-side imagemaps  and  SVG,
       effective  when	edges  have a URL.  If the target string is empty, the
       default,	then no	target attribute is included in	the output.  The  sub-
       strings '\T', '\H', '\E'	and '\G' are substituted in the	same manner as
       for  the	edge label attribute.  Additionally the	substring '\L' is sub-
       stituted	with the edge label string.

       tooltip="tooltip" is a tooltip string for client-side imagemaps	effec-
       tive when edges have a URL.  The	tooltip	string defaults	to be the same
       as the edge label string.  The substrings '\T', '\H', '\E' and '\G' are
       substituted  in the same	manner as for the edge label attribute.	 Addi-
       tionally	the substring '\L' is substituted with the edge	label string.

       arrowhead,arrowtail=none, normal, inv, dot, odot, invdot, invodot, tee,
       empty, invempty,	open, halfopen,	diamond, odiamond, box,	obox, crow.

       arrowsize				 (norm_length=10,norm_width=5,
       inv_length=6,inv_width=7,dot_radius=2)

       headlabel,taillabel=string  for port labels.  labelfontcolor,labelfont-
       name,labelfontsize for head and	tail  labels.	The  substrings	 '\T',
       '\H',  '\E' and '\G' are	substituted in the same	manner as for the edge
       label attribute.	 Additionally the substring '\L' is  substituted  with
       the edge	label string.

       headhref="url"  sets  the url for the head port in imagemap, PostScript
       and SVG files.  The substrings '\T', '\H', '\E' and  '\G'  are  substi-
       tuted in	the same manner	as for the edge	label attribute.  Additionally
       the substring '\L' is substituted with the edge label string.

       headURL="url" ("headURL"	is a synonym for "headhref".)

       headtarget="headtarget"	is  a  target string for client-side imagemaps
       and SVG,	effective when edge heads have a URL.  The  headtarget	string
       is  used	 to determine which window of the browser is used for the URL.
       If the headtarget string	is empty, the  default,	 then  headtarget  de-
       faults  to the same value as target for the edge.  The substrings '\T',
       '\H', '\E' and '\G' are substituted in the same manner as for the  edge
       label  attribute.   Additionally	the substring '\L' is substituted with
       the edge	label string.

       headtooltip="tooltip" is	a tooltip string for client-side imagemaps ef-
       fective when head ports have a URL.  The	tooltip	string defaults	to  be
       the  same as the	headlabel string.  The substrings '\T',	'\H', and '\E'
       are substituted in the same manner as for  the  edge  label  attribute.
       Additionally  the  substring  '\L'  is  substituted with	the edge label
       string.

       tailhref="url" sets the url for the tail	port in	 imagemap,  PostScript
       and  SVG	 files.	  The substrings '\T', '\H', '\E' and '\G' are substi-
       tuted in	the same manner	as for the edge	label attribute.  Additionally
       the substring '\L' is substituted with the edge label string.

       tailURL="url" ("tailURL"	is a synonym for "tailhref".)

       tailtarget="tailtarget" is a target string  for	client-side  imagemaps
       and  SVG,  effective when edge tails have a URL.	 The tailtarget	string
       is used to determine which window of the	browser	is used	for  the  URL.
       If  the	tailtarget  string  is empty, the default, then	tailtarget de-
       faults to the same value	as target for the edge.	 The substrings	 '\T',
       '\H',  '\E' and '\G' are	substituted in the same	manner as for the edge
       label attribute.	 Additionally the substring '\L' is  substituted  with
       the edge	label string.

       tailtooltip="tooltip" is	a tooltip string for client-side imagemaps ef-
       fective	when tail ports	have a URL.  The tooltip string	defaults to be
       the same	as the taillabel string.  The substrings '\T', '\H', '\E'  and
       '\G'  are  substituted  in  the	same  manner as	for the	edge label at-
       tribute.	 Additionally the substring '\L' is substituted	with the  edge
       label string.

       labeldistance and port_label_distance set distance; also	labelangle (in
       degrees CCW)

       decorate	draws line from	edge to	label.

       samehead,sametail aim edges having the same value to the	same port, us-
       ing the average landing point.

       layer=id	 or  id:id  or "all" sets the edge's active layers.  The empty
       string means no layers (invisible).

       (neato-specific attributes)
       w=f sets	the weight (spring constant) of	an edge	to the given  floating
       point  value.   The  default  is	1.0; greater values make the edge tend
       more toward its optimal length.

       len=f sets the optimal length of	an edge.  The default is 1.0.

COMMAND	LINE OPTIONS
       -G sets a default graph attribute.

       -lfile  loads  custom  PostScript  library files.  Usually these	define
       custom shapes or	styles.	 If -l is given	by itself,  the	 standard  li-
       brary is	omitted.

       -Tlang sets the output language as described above.

       -O  automatically generate output filenames based on the	input filename
       and the -T format.

       -ofile write output to file.

       -v (verbose) prints various information useful for debugging.

       -V (version) prints version information and exits.

       -? prints the usage and exits.

EXAMPLES
       graph G {
	 node[style=filled]
	 subgraph cluster0 {
	   subgraph cluster0_0 {
	     style=filled
	     fillcolor=green
	     a b[area=3	fillcolor=yellow]
	   }
	   subgraph cluster0_1 {
	      area=2
	      bgcolor=yellow
	   }
	   c [style=filled
	     fillcolor=red ]
	 }
	 subgraph cluster1 {
	   e f
	 }
       }

BUGS
       At present, patchwork ignores edges, and	supplies no  visual  clues  to
       indicate	 nesting.  Such	clues might consist of nested boxes or thicker
       rectangular outlines. In	addition, it would be good if some cluster la-
       bel could be displayed.

       Patchwork has no	mechanism for fitting labels within the	supplied box.
