fit within a specific size? #1005

Hi,

I haven't seen any way to make the diagram fit within a specific size. I think mainly of diagrams which should be included within a paper format like A4, for sharing diagrams with users using Windows Word or pdf? Thanks

this is layout engine dependent. i'm pretty sure we can't control widths of connected graphs in dagre and elk. but, we can control how subgraphs get placed.

for example,

all those connections of "a" that fan out, they'll grow in width no matter what you specify
however, there's two subgraphs, and we should be able to move that subgraph down when we detect it exceeds width
