Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When looking at a flow an trying to understand the working of the adapter the pipe names are important but you don't see all of the name in most cases because the last part is replaced by dots. You can do mouse over but it is a hassle to move the mouse around and wait for al the mouse-overs while trying to understand the flow.

Describe the solution you'd like Use all available space in the element to show the pipe name or make the element wider. In the Graphviz flow the elements become as wide as is needed for the pipe name this makes the Graphviz flow much easier to read / understand.

Describe alternatives you've considered I described two options above.
