Hi,

[Please keep me in CC]
[Question at the end and in the title, introduction to the problem first]

I have a 20 nodes state machine (fsm) generated with graphviz because
it was ideal to iterate over the fsm. I now want to generate a proper
image of this with a well thought layout. My idea was to export to svg
and then move the nodes as I want them to be.
The problem is that when I move the nodes, the edges don't follow the nodes.

I found out that to have edges follow the nodes, I had to use
*connectors* instead of *path* elements and I also a found a script
that just does that :

Kudos to the author !
(the script creates straight connectors while it seems possible to
have *splined* connectors as shown in:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/SVG/CONNECTORS/index.xhtml but that's not that
much of a problem for me).

The annoying problem is that the script loses the arrows that showed
the transition direction.  I wondered if:
1/ SVG supports directional connectors
2/ if 1/, would it be possible to do it in graphviz ?

Best regards
Matt

PS: I hope this is the good mailing list: I could not find the address
of the mailing list on page http://www.graphviz.org/MailingList.php
which is weird, otherwise sorry and please tell me the correct mailing
list.
