I wanted to supplement shuvalov’s answer. penwidth is indeed the correct command. Additionally, in shuvalov’s answer penwidth is both a node and an edge property–also correct.
The distinction i wanted to make:
-
penwidth, when used as a node
property (e.g., “NodeA” [penwidth =
5]) affects the border line weight
for that node -
penwidth, when used as a edge
property affects the line weight of
the edge (default value is “1”,
specifying penwidth=2 will make the
edge appear in bold type -
if you want to change the line weight
of an edge, you do not need to change
penwidth for the two nodes
connected by that edge (as shuvalev’s
answer might suggest) -
for a directed graph (the edges have
a direction) you might also wish to change the
size/weight of the arrowhead and
arrowtail, along with the edge
weight, so that all three remain
proportional -
the length of an edge can be changed
by setting the weight property, as
elsewhere, the default value is 1.0;
increasing that value increases the
cost of stretching this edge during
rendering (i.e., the drawing
algorithm applies a higher penalty to
solutions in which this edge is
longer); notice that the edge from 1
to 4 is shorter than the edge from 1
to 2.
The following code should illustrate all of this. The rendered graph is shown below the code.
digraph {
/* declare the node & style them */
"Node 1" [shape=diamond, penwidth=3, style=filled, fillcolor="#FCD975"];
"Node 2" [style=filled,fillcolor="#9ACEEB" ];
"Node 3" [shape=diamond, style=filled, fillcolor="#FCD975" ];
"Node 4" [style=filled, fillcolor="#9ACEEB" ]
/* declare the edges & style them */
"Node 1" -> "Node 2" [dir=none, weight=1, penwidth=3] ;
"Node 1" -> "Node 3" [dir=none, color="#9ACEEB"] ;
"Node 1" -> "Node 4" [arrowsize=.5, weight=2.]
}
