What I am trying to achieve is clusters (subgraphs) side by side while their content is also side by side as demonstrated in this image:
but all I can make is the top-bottom behavior of the subgraphs as in this image:
I am aware that this is an open issue (Allow different rankdir for subgraph cluster)
But I also saw some workarounds for similar issues ( i.e. top-down subgraphs, left-right inside subgraphs, GraphViz - How to have a subgraph be left-to-right when main graph is top-to-bottom?)
Based on the workarounds I could get a diagonal representation:
but not the desired one.
this is my .Dot file:
digraph {
node [shape=plain]
rankdir=LR;

}
// { rank=same;
// 00 [style=invis];
// 01 [style=invis];
// 00 -> 01 [constraint=false,style=invis];
// }
// 00 -> Spain [style=invis];
// 01 -> China [style=invis];
// Spain -> China [ style=invis];
}
Notice that the diagonal code is commented out at the bottom of the code scope.
My question:
How can I change my code to get a result as similar as possible to the first image?
