More space between nodes/edges

[AKC0]

Hello, first of thanks for this Project! Unfortunatly I am only getting unclear outputs. In my case a lot of edges are going parallel which makes it hard to differ them. I didn't find a way to get more space between them. I did find Graphviz attributes like 'concentrate' or 'mindist' but they either just didn't do anything or even said:
"Warning: node 'xy', graph 'xy' size too small for label"
Thanks in advance and kind regards!

@AKC0
Please post an example of your code actual output, and describe how the desired output would be different.

@clayms As you can see it is really hard to follow a line because they are too close together. I'd like to be able to set a minimum distance between parallel lines.

@AKC0 Please post your code.

@clayms Well your solutions are funny and pragmatic to me. But I should state that my diagram is generated dynamically out of an excel table. So I can't manually place invisible edges or nodes with width and height of 0 as I don't even know how many nodes and edges I get. I just presupposed that there would be a simple parameter I could use but apperently there is nothing fitting. Closest I got was "nodesep" but it doesn't help that some don't work wit dot and even when they should it may not work because you have e.g. "ortho"... For me it is to complicated. Still thanks for your suggestions!

@AKC0
You are not required to use "ortho", change it to "spline" .

If you are using python to generate the code from the excel file, then you should be able to also modify the Edge()s dynamically.

@clayms yeah but I want to use ortho 😄 As I said: I thought there would be the one attribute I could use but apparently there are only kludges so it's fine.
