the last part of the generated diagram won't be shown is the diagram is too long #15

Hi there,

This library is very cool, and I'm using it for my thesis. Yet, if the generated diagram is too long, then the last part of the diagram is not shown but is displayed in grey colour.

I'm using macOS 13.4 my python version is 3.10

for example, I used such text to render

title: debug01 colourtheme: BLUEMOUNTAIN lane: customer (start) as start [brings a defective computer] as activity_9 lane: crs [checks the defect] as activity_10 [hand out a repair cost calculation] as activity_11

as gateway_1 [are acceptable] as activity_3 [continues] as activity_4 [takes her computer] as activity_5 [consists of two activities] as activity_12 [execute two activities in an arbitrary order] as activity_13 [is] as activity_14 [check the hardware] as activity_15 [repair the hardware] as activity_16 [checks the software] as activity_17 [configure the software] as activity_18 [test the proper system functionality after each of these activities] as activity_19 as gateway_6 [execute another arbitrary repair activity] as activity_8 (end) as end start->activity_9->activity_10->activity_11->gateway_1 gateway_1->activity_3->activity_4->activity_12 gateway_1->activity_5->activity_12 activity_12->activity_13->activity_14->activity_15->activity_16->activity_17->activity_18->activity_19->gateway_6 gateway_6->activity_8->end gateway_6->end and the output looks like this ![text01_test 16 42 27](https://github.com/csgoh/processpiper/assets/71372489/8e783120-7e12-4b83-adf9-915f3ff0ff24)

I saw that in the closed issues that an extra parameter "width=4800" can be given in "with ProcessMap", is there also such an option when using render()?

csgoh commented 1 year ago

hi @ShuaiweiYu, unfortunately the width option is not current supported in the render() method. I will add that option in next release. Meantime, can you use the generated code that you can get from the render() method and manually add in the width option for now? You would have to run the python code instead of calling the render.

ShuaiweiYu commented 1 year ago

yeah, sure. Thanks for the quick response! I know it is not encouraged to change source code, but I changed the default width in the processmap to a larger number, and it currently fixed my problem.

csgoh commented 1 year ago

@ShuaiweiYu v0.4.1 is now released. You can now specify the width. E.g. width: 8190.
