Such a new graph element is easy to test with my PR #215 together with e.g. this input:
connectors:
X1:
pincount: 4
X2:
pincount: 4
cables:
W1:
wirecount: 4
color_code: DIN
connections:
- - X1: [1-4]
- W1: [1-4]
- X2: [1-4]
tweak:
append: |-
graph [bgcolor=white fontname=arial label=<<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" cellborder="1"><tr><td>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA</td><td>BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB</td></tr><tr><td>CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC</td><td>DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD</td></tr></table>>]
Update: PR #215 was merged into the main branch in 2021 and is included in releases from v0.3.
GraphViz allows HTML tables in a
graph
'slabel
:This could be used to optionally include the complete BOM table inside the graphical output (PNG/SVG) if desired, and would especially be useful when wanting the graphics to include all information about the harness (including additional BOM items otherwise not visible), as well as when , as proposed in #224, using
show_part_numbers
set toFalse
to keep the connector and cable nodes compact, and using BOM item numbers to cross-reference with the BOM table that does show all part number info.An additional use could be a simplified title block, showing basic metadata such as a title and description. This could appear as part of the BOM table, or -by using a blank row with no border- made to look like a separate table.
