rank

Rank constraints on the nodes in a subgraph

type: rankType

  • If rank="same", all nodes are placed on the same rank.
  • If rank="min", all nodes are placed on the minimum rank.
  • If rank="source", all nodes are placed on the minimum rank, and the only nodes on the minimum rank belong to some subgraph with rank="source" or rank="min".

Analogous criteria hold for rank="max" and rank="sink".

(Note: the minimum rank is topmost or leftmost, and the maximum rank is bottommost or rightmost.)
