      Creating a Jira issue so we keep track. See excerpt below from users list...

      The depgraph plugin is very cool but it is very difficult to read with
      long job names. Does anyone know a workaround? Is this something the
      plugin developer can fix? A max shape size width? Support for text
      wrapping with the plugin? Thanks, Anthony

      Give me a hint how to fix it and I'll do it. One option you got is to
      edit the dot file by hand and then generate the graph yourself. This
      is Ok if you want to just do it manually. Another option is to use
      the dependency graph on a project or view level, because then you have
      less jobs.

      Best regards,
      Stefan

      Stefan,

      We have this issue for our long names like:
      this-is-a-very-long-jenkins-job-name
      so I hand edited the .gv file and changed all '-' to '\n' and it looked great.

      Also, it would be nice to customize the graph format globally, or per job:
      graph [
      fontname = "Helvetica-Oblique",
      fontsize = 6,
      ratio = .5,
      ];

      and also the node style as well?

      Thanks,
      Jim

      Hi Jim,

      I am on it. My Strategy for implementing this is to have a global
      option to put in regular expression to replace stuff in the job names.
      I don't know how long it will take me since I need to get another
      change in as well, but I hope for the best...

      Best regards,
      Stefan
