Another bit of stealth syntax that both Pydot and the GVE lack support for1, quoting from the GraphViz language documentation, in the "Comments and optional formatting" section):
In addition, double-quoted strings can be concatenated using a '+' operator.
I have never ever seen anyone actually use that syntax, but I tested and it does work in dot. This graph will contain a red node named "MyConcatenatedNode":
graph G {
"My" + "Concatenated" + "Node" [color=red];
}
Just thought I'd get it officially on the "board". No urgency implied or expected.
Notes
- (I typically use the GVE as my barometer for how much demand there's likely to be for support, when encountering a parser omission. If it works in the GVE but not Pydot, we probably need it. If neither support it, meh, it's obscure and low-priority. Not scientific, but it's served me so far!)
