The graph reports use Graphviz to create the report.  It would be fairly 
easy to modify the report to use any node and edge formatting supported 
by Graphviz.  See the following link for documentation:

https://graphviz.org/documentation/

Unfortunately, I don't think that you could create something exactly 
like you are looking for.

The alternative would be to write your own code to layout and draw the 
report.

Using cairo graphics would be a good option, but you would need some 
programming experience in order to write the code.
