fdp: constraint.c 255 error
Submitted by marinux on Sat, 02/18/2012 - 02:06
Hello everybody,
I'm a enthusiastic graphviz user and it generates fantastic graphes for me.
But now I have a problem. I have a very great dot-file automatic generated by a script with 13000 lines. This should be visualized with fdp, but I get an error described in
http://www.graphviz.org/bugs/b1429.html
The status of the bug is fixed, so I don't understand the problem. If I visualize with dot, nano, twopi etc. it's no problem, but it has not the look I want. I need fdp.
If you want, I can post my dot-file later on, I'm actually away.
I know, that fdp needs a lot of computation time for this, but that's not relevant. A good look is important.
If I take smaller dot-files generated by my script it works fine.
Greetings
Marinux

fdp: constraint.c 255 error
Do you require clusters in your layout? If not, you are better off to use sfdp to do the layout.
If you want clusters and need fdp, it appears from the place of the error that you are using a version of graphviz earlier than 2.28. At that time, the default overlap removal pass was changed from portho to prism. If your system was built with prism enabled, try using -Goverlap=9:prism and see if that at least provides a workaround.
I don't know what to advise without more information. Consider filing a bug report at

fdp: constraint.c 255 error
Hi,
thanks for your help. With 2.28 there is no error in fdp computing.
But anyway I changed to sfdp because of computing-time.

hi
hello,
i've problem like you. what the command line that you used?. i found a blank pdf file, but it has a size.
hi
Hi hi,
important is to install/compile graphviz 2.28 with:
"./configure --with-gts=yes"
libgts is neccessary.
fdp -Goverlap=prism -GK=100 -Tsvg file_name_dot -o file_name_svg
