Dot output contains the full path

Problem

I am trying to use this package to generate dot output for some class in flame engine's repo. This is the command that I am using,

dart pub global run dcdg -b dot > dot.dot

It executes without any errors, but the output is something like this,

"flame/src/collisions/hitboxes/circle_hitbox.dartCircleHitbox" -> "flame/src/geometry/circle_component.dartCircleComponent"
"flame/src/collisions/hitboxes/circle_hitbox.dartCircleHitbox" -> "flame/src/collisions/hitboxes/shape_hitbox.dartShapeHitbox"
"flame/src/collisions/hitboxes/composite_hitbox.dartCompositeHitbox" -> "flame/src/components/position_component.dartPositionComponent"
"flame/src/collisions/hitboxes/composite_hitbox.dartCompositeHitbox" -> "flame/src/collisions/collision_callbacks.dartCollisionCallbacks"

The class name and file path are getting combined into a single string and as a result of this the image generated from dot executable looks like this,

Expected behavior

I'd like the dot output to be just the class names so that the generated image also contains only the class names.

The purpose of that is to ensure class names are unique by name spacing them. For example, you could have two classes named Foo, one in lib/src/foo_web.dart and the other in lib/src/foo_mobile.dart. Without name spacing them, they would appear as the same class in the diagram.

I would consider adding a flag, maybe --no-namespace, to suppress namespaces for situations where you know there won't be any name collisions. The flag would apply to the DOT and PlantUML builders, as those are the ones that support namespaces (the Mermaid format doesn't allow namespaces).

Okay that makes sense. It's just that the name spacing is added without any / or _ separating path and class name. This lead me to believe that it was a bug. Not sure if that is the expected format for dot. But the flag sounds like a good idea👍🏼

Oh I see what you mean about the separators being missing. That may be a bug that was introduced when I added the Mermaid format. I'll fix that bit, at least.
