OK, it would be useful to send me some screen shots. Hold the Home  
button and press the top button, the screen will flash and save it to  
your Photos roll; navigate there and then email the right one to me.

Hmmm... I could probably look into such automated feedback...

Graph automatically sizes and lays out the nodes and edges, so you  
won't actually be in control of the absolute position of the node you  
had just drawn. That's the beauty (and frustration for some!) of the  
Graphviz engine -- it's an ideal fit for the iPhone where you don't  
want to be paying a lot of attention to how to arrange the nodes and  
edges. As the front page of the Graphviz site says, "Graphviz was not  
intended to be a Visio replacement, so it is probably frustrating to  
try to use it that way."
