Engine used by d3-graphviz #2

Hi,

this component is a great solution for a little open-source project we just started. Everything works fine, but we cannot get d3-graphviz to change the generated layout. Now, we have forked this repo and played around directly in the source code, but there's no effect when adding .graphviz().engine("neato") or any other supported engine. The graph is always in tree layout, but we need it to be circular/star-shaped, since we have a lot of nodes connecting to a single root node. Do you have any idea, why this is not working or what we could do to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Hmmm, I had not thought of that, I can dive in and have a look over the weekend.

Hey,

Please have a look at https://github.com/BusinessOptics/dash_interactive_graphviz/pull/3, I stupidly lost some work but I think this should do what you want. Let me know and I can merge it.

I hope the lock down in germany is going OK for you.

Hi James,

thanks for getting back to us so quickly. The lockdown has impacted us in positive manner so far, since we get to stay in pyjamas while coding :-)

The attached commit looks good so far, I think that should be exactly what we need. I'll try out later tonight/tomorrow and will give you feedback here. Thanks again!

Cheers, Max
