<H1 align=CENTER>Node Shapes</H1>
<HR>
There are three main types of shapes :
-<A HREF=/content/node-shapes#polygon>polygon-based</A>,
-<A HREF=/content/node-shapes#record>record-based</A> and
-<A HREF=/content/node-shapes#epsf>user-defined</A>.
+<A HREF=shapes.html#polygon>polygon-based</A>,
+<A HREF=shapes.html#record>record-based</A> and
+<A HREF=shapes.html#epsf>user-defined</A>.
The record-based shape has largely been superseded and greatly generalized
-by <A HREF=/content/node-shapes#html>HTML-like labels</A>.
+by <A HREF=shapes.html#html>HTML-like labels</A>.
That is, instead of using <TT>shape=record</TT>, one might
consider using <TT>shape=none</TT> and an HTML-like label.
<P>
The geometry and style of all node shapes are affected by
the node attributes

<H2><A NAME=record>Record-based Nodes</A></H2>
These are specified by shape values of "record" and "Mrecord".
The structure of a record-based node is determined by
-its <A HREF=/content/attrs#dlabel><TT>label</TT></A>,
+its <A HREF=attrs.html#d:label><TT>label</TT></A>,
which has the following schema:
<TABLE>
<TR><TD ALIGN=right><I>rlabel</I><TD>=<TD><I>field</I> ( '|' <I>field</I> )*</TR>
<P>
The first string in <I>fieldId</I> assigns a portname to the field and can
be combined with the node name to indicate where to attach an edge
-to the node. (See <A HREF=/content/attrs#kportPos>portPos</A>.)
+to the node. (See <A HREF=attrs.html#k:portPos>portPos</A>.)
The second string is used as the text for the field; it supports the usual
-<A HREF=/content/attrs#kescString>escape sequences</A> \n, \l and \r.
+<A HREF=attrs.html#k:escString>escape sequences</A> \n, \l and \r.
<P>
Visually, a record is a box, with fields represented by alternating
rows of horizontal or vertical subboxes. The Mrecord shape is identical
"A" to the left and "D" to the right of "B" and "C".
<P>
The initial orientation of a record node depends on the

+<A HREF="attrs.html#d:rankdir">rankdir</A> attribute. If this attribute
is <TT>TB</TT> (the default) or <TT>TB</TT>, corresponding to vertical
layouts, the top-level fields in a record are displayed horizontally.
If, however, this attribute is <TT>LR</TT> or <TT>RL</TT>,
it then looks like:<BR>

+<H2><A NAME="d:style">Styles for Nodes</A></H2>
+The <A HREF=attrs.html#d:style><TT>style</TT></A>
attribute can be used to modify the appearance of a node.
At present, there are 8 style values recognized:
<TT>filled</TT>, <TT>invisible</TT>, <TT>diagonals</TT>, <TT>rounded</TT>.
<TT>dashed</TT>, <TT>dotted</TT>, <TT>solid</TT> and <TT>bold</TT>.

attribute can be a comma-separated list of any of these. If the
style contains conflicts (e.g, <TT>style="dotted, solid"</TT>), the last
attribute wins.

-<DT><A NAME=dfilled><TT>filled</TT>
+<DT><A NAME=d:filled><TT>filled</TT>
<DD>This value indicates that the node's interior should be filled.

+<DT><A NAME=d:invisible><TT>invisible</TT>

Note that the node is still used in laying out the graph.
-<DT><A NAME=ddiagonals><TT>diagonals</TT>
+<DT><A NAME=d:diagonals><TT>diagonals</TT>
<DD>The diagonals style causes small chords to be drawn near the vertices
of the node's polygon or, in case of circles and ellipses, two chords near
the top and the bottom of the shape. The special node shapes
-<A HREF=#dMsquare><TT>Msquare</TT></A>,

are simply an ordinary square, circle and
diamond with the diagonals style set.
-<DT><A NAME=drounded><TT>rounded</TT>
+<DT><A NAME=d:rounded><TT>rounded</TT>
<DD>The rounded style causes the polygonal corners to be smoothed.
Note that this style also applies to record-based nodes. Indeed,

shape. On the other hand, if the node has any other shape (except
<TT>point</TT>), the HTML label will be embedded within the node the
