I just wanted to check with other graphvis users to see if I'm doing something wrong. I can't seem to get the map to print across multiple pages. Maybe the problem is with the software I use to view the jpg file, and not with graphvis. Does this look similar to what the rest of you are doing? Any suggestions?

I use neato. The neato command looks like this:
neato -Tjpg testmap.txt -o testmap.jpg

Here is my test input file. But the actual map that I want to print across multiple pages is much larger (naturally):

graph TestMap {
page="8.5,11"; /* Put graph attributes here */
ratio=auto;
fontsize=10;
overlap=false;
splines=true; /* may need to delete this if processing takes too long */

Seems the problem is, that a jpeg is just a huge picture.

The page option seems to work if you are using postscript:

neato -Tps testmap.txt -o testmap.ps

Either send this to a postscript printer, or get yourself a postscript viewer like ghostview.

Or use a ps to pdf converter like pd2pdf.

Your testmap looks then like this: http://www.cestvel.de/dl/testmap.pdf

As an inveterate map-maker, I'm curious. Is there a generic star map out there? The test version looks pretty much like the map I was setting up for myself, only using something other than MS Excel.
