Printing simplified DAG plot with snakemake












1















I have a long snakemake workflow processing 9 samples with many parallel rules. When I create a picture for the DAG with:



snakemake --forceall --dag | dot -Tpdf > dag.pdf


the resulting dag plot is huge and very redundant (and ugly because of complex node placement).



Is it possible to produce a canonical dag plot that will not show the 9 nodes for each task but only the main path through all steps?



I thought od simplifying my sample list to one sample but hope there is a better method without touching the snakefile (secret parameters?)



Thanks

          Use the flag --rulegraph instead of --dag.
