[instaviz-users] Swim lanes and Graphvizisms

[Andy Dent]

I started a new topic because I hate threads being hijacked as I lose  
track of things.

What are the constraints people expect with swimlanes?

Assuming for a moment that Instaviz eventually acquires more of  
Graphviz, which may be just a question of allowing entry of other  
attributes, do the existing subgraphs in GraphViz satisfy your desire  
for swimlanes?

I have an example of using a subgraph to provide a legend, for anyone  
not familiar with them, on a blog posting showing the code and  
renderered graph

I have also played around in GraphViz with using blank labels and  
plaintext nodes to have just lines drawn on a graph, which can serve  
to some degree as swimlanes.
