Running it with UMLClassDiagram-Plane.dot gives the following output: $ ~/sti/bin/macosx/gvlayout UMLClassDiagram-Plane.dot -Kdot -Txdot1.2 -o UMLClassDiagram-Plane-test.dotĮrror: UMLClassDiagram-Plane. Understand typically invokes it with the following arguments: gvlayout -Kdot -Txdot1.2 -o It’s a wrapper around the Graphviz library and uses the same command-line arguments as Graphviz. The relevant executable for laying out graphs is gvlayout. Understand includes several executables such as the Understand GUI and the command line tool und. After dismissing the error message, I exported the dot file: UMLClassDiagram-Plane.dot. With a project based on ArduPilot ArduPlane (version 4.0.9) the UML Class Diagram gave the previous error message when the Plane class was showing class details. Why did the graph fail?Īs an example, I’m going to use a recent bug report with the UML Class Diagram. The next step is to get a better error message. Specifically, you can export the dot file for the graph, even if no graph is visible. So, even after receiving an error message, you can interact with the graph window. When engine ' dot ', dot is used by default to use other filters. Render gallery examples with logging: examples/graphviz-notebook.ipynb ( source) Layout engine comparison: examples/graphviz-engines. The first thing to realize is only the layout failed. The following tips work for any of the Graphviz graphs, which is most of the graphs in Understand. dot export option, then the layout is done by Graphviz. There are several different layout engines in Understand.


But what do you do when none of the suggestions work? The dialog itself has gotten a lot more descriptive over the years and contains several things to try. Have you ever seen this message when trying to generate a very complex graph in Understand?
