Headport and tailport are not rendering accordingly #48

Open Srinathmp opened 3 years ago

Srinathmp commented 3 years ago

The documentation for "headport" and "tailport" says that it Indicates where on the head/tail node to attach the head/tail of the edge. In the default case, the edge is aimed towards the center of the node, and then clipped at the node boundary. The code given below - `digraph { rankdir=LR; node [ shape=record ];

struct1 [ label = "a|b|\<port1> c"; ]; struct2 [ label = "a|{ \<port2> b1|b2}|c"; ]; struct1->struct2 [ label="xyz", headport="port1", tailport="port2" ]; }` should generate an edge from node:struct1 port "c" to node:struct2 port "b1" like this - image however it generates an edge like this , using default behavior. image

I understand that struct1:port1 -> struct2:port2 [ label="xyz" ]; can be used for the purpose ,but I don't know how to use addEdge method to generate such a dot string (open to suggestions ).

I request you to please help me out , to generate an edge like in image 1. I have also tried other versions of port attribute argument such as such , "c","port0:c" etc yet no use.
