Near edges are drawn so that their source and target nodes are directly neighbored at the same level. This implies that a node cannot have more than two near edges, i.e. one on the left and one on the right with respect to the orientation of the graph. Near edges are drawn as short horizontal lines not crossed by any other edges or nodes.
Hint: Invisible near edges can be used to group nodes at one level.
A near edge is specified by
nearedge: {
sourcename:
< title of source node >
targetname:
< title of target node >
< list of edge attributes >
}
Same as near edge, only that the target node is placed directly neighbored to the left of the source node at the same level.
