Title: node shape=circle defect @ HPGL output
Submitter: Dirk Zenker
Date: Mon May 26 10:32:26 2003
Subsys: output
Version: 1.9
System: x86-Windows-2K
Severity: major
Problem:
A node shape of circle (or ellipse) is not drawn as a circle, but as a circle with a line to its center. The node text is than misaligned. Code: digraph f { node [ shape=circle ] X -> Y X[label="X"] Y[label="Y"] }

Output: /--- /--- / / | X --|--->| Y --| / / ---/ ---/

With shape=box everything is fine. Must be the circle/ellipse drawing algorithm of HPGL output.
