PATCHWORK(1)		     General Commands Manual		    PATCHWORK(1)

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 in-
     put, 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 contains. The ar-
     eas  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 multiple implementa-
     tions of the output formats.  To see what variants are available, use,  for
     example:  ``patchwork  -Tpng:'' and to force a particular 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 print-
     ers), -Tpng -Tgif (bitmap	graphics),  -Timap  (imagemap  files  for  httpd
     servers  for  each  node  or  edge  that has a non-null "href" attribute.),
     -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 format.
     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 extension
     .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, indi-
     cated 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 ex-
     ist) 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  ac-
     cording 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  following
     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 number, 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 compatible
     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  dia-
     grams.   The PostScript array variable layercolorseq sets the assignment 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 polyline,
     edges are drawn as polylines.  If set to ortho, edges are drawn as orthogo-
     nal polylines.  In all of these cases,  the  nodes  may  not  overlap.   If
     splines=false  or	splines=line, edges are drawn as line segments.  The de-
     fault is false.

NODE ATTRIBUTES
     height=d or width=d sets minimum height or  width.   Adding  fixedsize=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 compo-
     nent.  (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  cen-
     ter,  left,  and  right justified lines.  The string '\N' value will be re-
     placed by the node name.  The string '\G' value will  be  replaced  by  the
     graph name.  Record labels may contain recursive box lists delimited by { |
     }.   Port	identifiers in labels are set off by angle brackets < >.  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 speci-
     fied, the fillcolor when style=filled defaults to be the same as  the  out-
     line 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. symmetric
     about  the x and y axis, otherwise the polygon takes on the aspect 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 af-
     fected (i.e.  they cannot be made asymmetric).

     peripheries=n sets the number of periphery lines drawn around the	polygon.
     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 ellipse.
     This attribute is ignored by builtin_polygons.

     orientation=f  sets  the orientation of the first apex of the polygon coun-
     terclockwise from the vertical, in degrees.  f may be a floating point num-
     ber.  The orientation of labels is not affected by  this  attribute.   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   ignored   by
     builtin_polygons.

     skew=f  sets the amount of right-displacement of the top and left-displace-
     ment 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, ef-
     fective when nodes have a URL.  The target  string  is  used  to  determine
     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 in-
     cluded  in the output.  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.

     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 without 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 at-
     tribute.  Additionally the substring '\L' is substituted with the node  la-
     bel string.

EDGE ATTRIBUTES
     label=text  where	text may include escaped newlines \n, \l, or \r for cen-
     tered, 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 sub-
     string  '\E'  value  is  found  in  a  label  it  will  be   replaced   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	parallel
     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 substring '\L' is sub-
     stituted 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,  ef-
     fective when edges have a URL.  If the target string is empty, the default,
     then  no  target attribute is included in the output.  The substrings '\T',
     '\H', '\E' and '\G' are substituted in the same manner as for the edge  la-
     bel  attribute.   Additionally  the  substring '\L' is substituted with the
     edge label string.

     tooltip="tooltip" is a tooltip string for client-side  imagemaps  effective
     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  substi-
     tuted in the same manner as for the edge label attribute.	Additionally 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_ra-
     dius=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 at-
     tribute.  Additionally the substring '\L' is substituted with the edge  la-
     bel string.

     headhref="url"  sets  the url for the head port 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  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 head-
     target  string  is empty, the default, then headtarget defaults 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.   Addition-
     ally the substring '\L' is substituted with the edge label string.

     headtooltip="tooltip"  is a tooltip string for client-side imagemaps effec-
     tive 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 sub-
     stituted  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 substituted 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 tail-
     target string is empty, the default, then tailtarget defaults 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.  Addition-
     ally the substring '\L' is substituted with the edge label string.

     tailtooltip="tooltip" is a tooltip string for client-side imagemaps  effec-
     tive  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 attribute.   Addition-
     ally the substring '\L' is substituted with the edge label string.

     labeldistance and port_label_distance set distance; also labelangle (in de-
     grees CCW)

     decorate draws line from edge to label.

     samehead,sametail	aim  edges having the same value to the same port, using
     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.
     -N sets a default node attribute.
     -E sets  a  default  edge	attribute.   Example:  -Gsize="7,8"  -Nshape=box
     -Efontsize=8

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

     -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.

     -x reduce graph.

     -Lg don't use grid.

     -LO use old attractive force.

     -Lni set number of iterations to i.

     -LUi set unscaled factor to i.

     -LCv set overlap expansion factor to v.

     -LT[*]v set temperature (temperature factor) to v.

     -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  indi-
     cate  nesting.  Such clues might consist of nested boxes or thicker rectan-
     gular outlines. In addition, it would be good if some cluster  label  could
     be displayed.

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