It does not work at all to set the shape of parent nodes .

[qtttttttttting]

I'm submitting a:

• Bug report

It does not work at all to set the shape of parent nodes .

Environment info

• Browser and version: chrome 59.0.3071.115
• Node version (if running headless): v6.10.2
• Cytoscape.js version: v3.1.2

Current behavior

The code goes in the way:
{
selector: ':parent',
style: {
'shape':'ellipse',
'background-image': TMP,
'background-color':'#f6f6f5',
'border-width': 0,
'content': ''
}
}
I want to change the shape of all the parent nodes, but whatever I set the shape property ,it remains rectangle .

Desired behavior

I want the shape of all the parent nodes to be ellipse.

Minimum steps to reproduce

Eager for answers! Thank you ~

You can only use rectangle shapes, because a parent's dimensions are defined by the bounding box of the children. rectangle, roundrectangle, and cutrectangle work.

Do you have any suggestions if I have to satisfy this need?

Cytoscape.js supports only rect-like shapes for compounds. Either use regular nodes if you want a true ellipse, or use a roundrectangle on a parent.
