aiSee: Command Line Options<>index

-rawoutput Name 

As of aiSee 2.2.04. A file named Name is written which contains a list of all nodes and edges of the input graph in a very simple textual format. Each node is listed together with the coordinates of its upper right corner, followed by its width, height and label:

N x y width height "label"

Each edge is listed together with the coordinates of its starting point, followed by the coordinates of its ending point and its label:

E x1 y1 x2 y2 "label"

Interactive displaying of the graph is turned off.

If Name is replaced by a -, the list is written directly to stdout instead of a file. This is useful for Unix versions of aiSee only.
 

-rm Float Unit 

Sets the right margin of the output to Float Units. No left margin may be specified otherwise this option doesn't work. The graph is centered on the page by default. This option is useful only if the graph fits on the page. For the available Units, see -width.
 

-rmax Int

Sets the minimum number of iterations for rubberbanding. This works in a manner similar to the pendulum method. The default value is 100. The corresponding GDL graph attribute is rmax.
 

-rmin Int

Sets the minimum number of iterations for rubberbanding. This works in a manner similar to the pendulum method. The default value is 0. The corresponding GDL graph attribute is rmin.

-scale Int

Scales the graph to Int% before writing to file. The default scaling fits the graph to the paper size using maximum aspect ratio.
 

-sigback

The parent process is contacted after each relayout by the SIGUSR1 signal. This option is useful for Unix versions of aiSee only. Note: SIGUSR1 causes aiSee to reload the GDL file, with SIGUSR2 causing aiSee to close its main window. See also -callback, -sigback, and graph animation.
 

-silent

Causes messages or warnings to be suppressed during layout. It is advisable to use this option if any of the following options is used: -bmpoutput, -htmloutput, -pbmoutput, -pngoutput, -ppmoutput, -psoutput, -rawoutput, -svgoutput, or -gdloutput.
 

-smanhattan 

Selects a specialized orthogonal layout: All horizontal edge segments between two levels share the same horizontal line, i.e. not only vertical edge segments are shared (as in the -manhattan layout). However, horizontal edge segments are shared by several edges, too. This looks nice for trees, data structs, and organization charts, but might be confusing in general. The corresponding GDL graph attribute is smanhattan_edges. See also -nosmanhattan.
 

-smax Int

Sets the maximum number of iterations of the straight-line recognition phase, the default value being 100. This option is not of any use unless the straight-line recognition phase is switched on, see -straight. It can be used to improve the Manhattan Layout or the layout with the priority phase turned on, see -prio. The corresponding GDL graph attribute is smax.
 

-spline

Specifies whether splines are used to draw edges. Polygon segments are used to draw edges by default, because this is much faster. The spline drawing routine is very slow. Splines are mainly used to prepare high-quality PostScript or SVG output for small graphs (see examples). The corresponding GDL graph attribute is splines.
 

-split Int

Splits the graph into Int pages, see example. This is useful for PostScript output only. The number of pages has to be one of the following: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, or 100.
 

-springtune

This is an option for the hierarchical layout algorithms. It switches the spring embedder fine-tuning phase on, which forces the nodes to be evenly distributed. This is useful for undirected graphs. See also -nospringtune.
 

-straight

Switches on the straight phase. This is an additional phase that tries to avoid bends in long edges. Long edges are drawn as long straight vertical lines. Thus, this phase is not very appropriate for normal layout, however it is recommended when an orthogonal layout is selected. The corresponding GDL graph attribute is straight_phase. See also -manhattan and -nostraight.
 

-summarize

Switches the summary layout on. Multiple edges between the same source and target node are summarized if they have the same visible appearance. This reduces the number of visible edges.
 

-svgembedicons

As of aiSee 2.2.04. Useful only when exporting a graph that contains bitmap icons to SVG. With this option on, the icons are embedded in the output SVG file instead of simply being referenced by their paths.
 

-svgoutput Name 

A file named Name containing a black and white picture of the graph is written in scalable vector graphics (SVG) format. It is advisable to use this option in combination with -silent. To export a color picture, combine this option with -color.
If Name is replaced by a -, the SVG output is piped directly to stdout instead of a file. This is useful for Unix versions of aiSee only.
