Example 6: Complex Graph with All Features
A comprehensive example demonstrating all VGL features:
vgraph comprehensive: IBIS "Comprehensive Example" {
// Graph-level properties

fontcolor: darkblue;
labeljust: l;
// Root-level nodes
node root: Question "Main Question" [fontsize: 20; color: navy];
node ans1: Answer "Primary Solution" [fontsize: 16];
node ans2: Answer "Alternative Solution" [fontsize: 16];
// Detailed analysis group
group analysis "Detailed Analysis" {
style: filled;
color: lightgray;
node q_perf: Question "What about performance?";
node a_fast: Answer "Optimize critical paths" [color: green];
node pro_perf: Pro "40% faster response time" [fontsize: 12];
// Nested considerations
group tradeoffs "Trade-offs" {
style: dashed;
color: yellow;
node con_complex: Con "Increased code complexity" [fontsize: 10];
node q_maint: Question "Can we maintain this?" [fontsize: 11];
};
edge q_perf -> a_fast: answered_by;
edge a_fast -> pro_perf: supports;
edge a_fast -> con_complex: objects_to;
edge con_complex -> q_maint: con_questions_question "Raises concern";

// Implementation group

};
// Cross-group connections
edge root -> ans1: answered_by "Main path";
