tweak edge label placement

[balhoff]

Is there a way to group edge labels a bit tighter to the arrows? I got confused by the placement of a label in this picture: INCATools/ubergraph#34

If we can figure out the dot/graphviz magic it should be easy to make this work This is a slightly different issues but may give clues to some techniques https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12934763/graphviz-edge-label-too-close-to-another-edge You can use obographviz to output dot, tweak the dot manually, then generate png, to explore techniques... sorry I don't have any better ideas right now

We could also do edges-as-nodes: https://mikemol.github.io/jekyll/update/nodes/edges/labels/layout/graphviz/dot/2018/01/13/graphviz-technique-nodes-as-edge-labels.html [S] -----[P]-----> [O] one thing we could try is representing the edge as a dot (as invisible as possible), and then a label node connecting to that - essentially reification: [S] -----[.]-----> [O] | | [P] There would be no edge labels as such here, just nodes, and we would have finer grained control, e.g. state that the distance from the reified edge node to the P is to be short
