Currently line and fill attributes apply only in signalling charts and block diagrams.
Graphviz has a totally
different way of specifying line appearance via the style=
attribute. Further
languages planned to be added will use the below attributes.
line.color
Specifies the color of the lines, see Specifying Colors for the syntax.
line.width
Specifies the width of the line in pixels. In case of double or triple lines
this is not the total width of the compound line, but only that of an individual
components. E.g., a double line with line.width=1
is three pixels wide in total.
line.type
Specifies the type of the line. Its value can be
solid
, dotted
, dashed
, long_dashed
, dash_dotted
,
double
, triple
, triple_thick
or none
.
line.corner
For boxes-like elements this attribute specifies how the corners of the box
are drawn. Its value can be none
, round
, bevel
, note
.
It has sometimes effect on other elements. Signalling chart arrows pointing to
the same entity use this. Also arrows in block diagrams are impacted.
line.radius
Specifies the size of the corner above. In some cases it is also used to specify
the turning radius of turning arrows (see line.corner
above).

fill.color
Defines the background of an element covering an aread.
Specifying none
results in no fill at all (transparent).
fill.color2
If this attribute is specified then the fill gradient will not be between
fill.color
and a lighter variant, but between fill.color
and
the value specified here. If no gradient specified or button
is used,
this attribute has no effect.
fill.gradient
Defines the gradient of the fill. It can take five textual values
up
, down
, in
, out
and button
. The first two
results in linear gradients getting darker in the direction indicated. The second
two results in circular gradients with darker shades towards the center or edge
of the entity box, respectively. The last one mimics light on a button. In addition,
it can also be set to a numerical value, which result in a linear gradient
and specifies the angle of it.
