[graphviz-interest] How to draw topological sorted graph (in dot language)?

Hello,

First, I'm sorry for my english..

I have a question:
How to write a code in dot language to draw a topological sorted digraph. I
mean: all nodes should be placed in one line (this is my problem - how to
write a code in dot language to put all nodes in one line). Digraph should
looks like this example:

Can anybody help?

hi,

feel to be not the most expert, so wait for other, better suggestions.

i feel that "rank=same" is the right way, but have no direct experience in
a graph as your example.

To constrain nodes to the same row, use rank=same

To constrain the left-right order or the nodes (assuming this is
required) is
a bit trickier. Use an invisible node and invisible edges with
ordering=out.
