[R] makeGOGraph node spacing

[Loren Engrav]

Greetings

Am newbie using MacOS10.4.10
R version 2.6.0 Patched (2007-11-09 r43408)
Gostats 2.4.0
RGraphviz 1.16.0
Xcode X11 1.1.3 - XFree86 4.4.0

I want to make an induced GO tree from 1019 genes so I did

> x <- scan(file="GeneIDsToBioconductor2.txt", sep=",")
Read 1019 items
> xc <- as.character(x)
> xctree <- makeGOGraph(xc, Ontology="BP", removeRoot=FALSE)

Then I did
> plot (xctree)

And it produces the tree but
1) the nodes are so close together that the GO term labels overlap, I moved
them around with Illustrator but that was painful and we have several more
trees to do, and
2) it produced bizillions of warnings like
1: In arrows(head_from[1], head_from[2], head_to[1], head_to[2],  ... :
  zero-length arrow is of indeterminate angle and so skipped

Then I did
> plot (xctree, attrs=list(node=list(shape="box", nodesep=1)))

This yielded only 2 warnings
1: In arrows(head_from[1], head_from[2], head_to[1], head_to[2], col =
edgeColor,  : zero-length arrow is of indeterminate angle and so skipped

But the tree has not changed, still overlapping node labels

three questions please
1) are the warnings related to content and I need worry about them or are
they just graphical and I need not
2) is there a way to spread out the nodes to prevent label overlap
3) if the process cut warnings to 2, why no change in the graph

Thank you

I sent this 9 and 3hrs ago but somehow failed
Perhaps it was the pdf attachment so I removed that and tried again
The pdf of the graph can be seen at <http://homepage.mac.com/engrav>
Click on the Filesharing arrow and download the pdf
I apologize if this shows up 3 times
