beautify

type: bool, default: false

Whether to try to draw leaf nodes uniformly on a circle around the root node.

Prior to Graphviz 8.0.1, this is affected by Issue 2283: rendering one fewer sector than necessary, overlapping the first and last nodes.

Examples:

digraph G {
    layout="sfdp"
    beautify=true

    N0 -> {N1; N2; N3; N4; N5; N6}
}

digraph G {
    layout="sfdp"
    beautify=false

    N0 -> {N1; N2; N3; N4; N5; N6}
}

• Graphs

Note: sfdp only.
