How can I add a subgraph?

[r0ckarong]

I've just recently started using this to automatically generate some overview diagrams for file relationships but I'm running into some problems with placing the nodes in a human readable way. I find subgraphs over and over to possibly be the solution. Does the library in the current state support subgraphs and/or clustered nodes? The documentation is not conclusive on this.

What do you mean by subgraph? In the sense of the Wikipedia definition?

There is no explicit class or module for such subgraphs in RGL. But the concept can easily be realized with ImplicitGraphs. Here is an example using Graph#vertices_filtered_by.

If you mean by subgraph or clusterd node a graph vertex, which itself is a graph, then RGL does not have this concept. But since a graph vertex of a concrete graph can be any Ruby object, it may also be another graph.

Does this answer your question?

BTW: This should better have been a discussion.

Sorry for using the wrong place to ask this. Let me close this and start an actual discussion over there. Thanks for the reply.
