Diagramming chlid nodes with multiple parent nodes

In an example, a method to display a graphical diagram includes receiving source data that includes multiple nodes arranged in a directed acyclic graph (DAG) in which each child node of a set of child nodes has multiple DAG parent nodes. The nodes include the DAG parent nodes. The method includes co...

Summary:In an example, a method to display a graphical diagram includes receiving source data that includes multiple nodes arranged in a directed acyclic graph (DAG) in which each child node of a set of child nodes has multiple DAG parent nodes. The nodes include the DAG parent nodes. The method includes converting the DAG to a tree in which each of the nodes has no more than one tree parent node. The method includes displaying, based on the tree, a graphical diagram in which child graphical objects that represent child nodes that each has multiple DAG parent nodes are positioned in intersection areas of container graphical objects that represent the DAG parent nodes.
