before invoking a new layout function.
An example of this was given in Figure~\ref{fig:nop}.
+Note that if you render a graph into the {\tt dot} or {\tt xdot}
+format, this attaches attributes onto the graph. Some of these attributes
+are used during layout. For example, the {\tt neato} layout will use
+the {\tt pos} attribute of the nodes for an initial layout, while the
+{\tt twopi} layout may set the {\tt root} attribute, which will lock in
+this attribute for any future layouts using {\tt twopi}.
+To avoid having these attributes affecting another
+layout of the graph, the user should should set these attributes to the
+empty string before calling {\tt gvLayout} again.

Once the application is totally done with a graph, it should call
{\tt agclose} to close the graph and reclaim the remaining resources associated
with it.
$n$ bytes following {\tt '-'}. The text should be left-aligned (centered,
right-aligned) on the point if $j$ is -1 (0, 1), respectively. The
value $w$ gives the width of the text as computed by the library. \\
+${\tt t}\ f$ &
+Set font characteristics. The integer f is the OR of BOLD=1, ITALIC=2, UNDERLINE=4, SUPERSCRIPT=8, SUBSCRIPT=16, and STRIKE-THROUGH=32. \\
${\tt C}\ n\ {\tt -}c_{1}c_{2}\cdots c_{n}$ & Set color used to fill closed
regions. The
color is specified by the $n$ characters following {\tt '-'}. \\

+Externally-specified image drawn in the box with lower left corner $(x,y)$
+and upper right corner $(x+w,y+h)$. The name of the image consists of the $n$ bytes following '-'. This is usually a bitmap image. Note that the image size, even when converted from pixels to points, might be different from the required size $(w,h)$. It is assumed the renderer will perform the necessary scaling.\\
