Some GraphViz (dot) files can't be parsed

[Dimitris Kalamaras]

For instance this graph is read but nothing is displayed:
digraph mydot { node [color=red, shape=box]; a -> b -> c ->d node [color=pink, shape=circle]; d->e->a->f->j->k->l->o [weight=1, color=black]; }

If we use line breaks, then everything is OK. Test:

 digraph mydot {
node [color=red, shape=box];
a -> b -> c ->d
node [color=pink, shape=circle];
d->e->a->f->j->k->l->o
[weight=1, color=black];
}

For simplicity reasons, SocNetV expected line breaks inside the dot network file.

It didnt read until a ';' occured...

[Dimitris Kalamaras (dimitris-kalamaras)]

The thing is that we need a LOT code changes to read until a ';' and SocNetV native file format is GraphML, not Dot, so I think we will leave this bug unfixed.

Thus, until we redesign the whole parser code, users are requested to include carriage returns in their dot network files, or else SocNetV won't read them.
