如何让Graphviz中的Cluster子图实现垂直对齐？

我用Graphviz生成包含Cluster的图，采用「前一个子图最后一个节点连接后一个子图第一个节点」的策略时，生成的图向左倾斜，希望让这些Cluster子图实现垂直对齐。以下是相关代码、效果示例及解决方案：

垂直对齐解决方案 #

要让Cluster实现垂直对齐，核心是强制所有Cluster的基准节点处于同一水平rank，具体操作如下：

1. 给每个Cluster添加隐藏锚点节点：在每个Cluster内部新增一个不可见的节点（设置style=invis），作为对齐基准。
2. 设置锚点节点同rank：在全局添加一个子图，将所有Cluster的锚点节点设置为rank=same，强制它们处于同一水平线上，从而带动整个Cluster垂直对齐。

修改后的代码示例：

digraph {
    compound=true
    fontname="Verdana"
    fontsize=12
    nodesep = 1
    ranksep = 1.5
    node[shape=folder, style="filled,solid", color=green4, fontsize=12]
    
    // 强制所有锚点节点处于同一rank，实现Cluster垂直对齐
    {
        rank=same;
        cluster1_anchor;
        c1_anchor;
        c2_anchor;

补充说明 #

• 隐藏锚点节点不会影响图的可视化效果，仅作为对齐基准。
• 若图仍有轻微偏移，可调整nodesep或ranksep参数优化间距。
