Add unflatten support #74

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Add the support for unflatten, it's great for outlining bigger graphs.

Under linux a line like:
'unflatten -c 3 Graph.dat | dot -Tpng -o Graph.png'
results in a graph where the 'unconected' nodes are aranged in 3 lines.

From what I can see pydot can load the unflattened graphs just fine and 
redering the parsed data produces identical output as when doing it directly 
through the tools.
I don't see any problems in the process.

Maybe this suggestion was intended as a feature request instead of a bug? If 
so, I do not aim to duplicate functionality already provided by GraphViz. 
A method to call unflatten from pydot could come handy. If that's what you need 
I suggest you open a feature request or, ideally, put together a quick patch 
for pydot ;-)
