orientation

type: double | string, default: 0.0, "", minimum: 360.0

When used on nodes: Angle, in degrees, to rotate polygon node shapes. For any number of polygon sides, 0 degrees rotation results in a flat base.

When used on graphs: If "[lL]*", sets graph orientation to landscape.

Used only if rotate is not defined.

Node Orientations
digraph { layout=neato # Render in a circular layout node [shape=house] # Make all nodes have 'house' shape 0 [orientation=0] 45 [orientation=45] 90 [orientation=90] 135 [orientation=135] 180 [orientation=180] 225 [orientation=225] 270 [orientation=270] 315 [orientation=315] 0 -> 45 -> 90 -> 135 -> 180 -> 225 -> 270 -> 315 -> 0 }
Landscape Graph Orientation
digraph { orientation=L a -> b }
