I am pretty enjoy about the power of Graphviz and are trying to convert a wonderful .NET Core learning roadmap from .Net Core Developer Roadmap to Graphviz Dot for easier to update later.
The layout is okay until I added a new caching node and I cannot control Graphviz to render correctly.
Here is the code.
digraph learning_roadmap {
node[shape=none, width=0, height=0, label=""];
edge[dir=none];
subgraph main_group {

}
Here is the output.
As you can see, I can't make the caching node on the right-hand side or the main edge and it also interrupts database node.
If you have any ideas to fix this, please let me know. Thank you so much.
FYI The tool I use: Graphviz Preview VS Code plugin and Graphviz engine version 2.38.0.20190211
