title: Display labels in line with the edge when using Graphviz
body: <p>I am using Graphviz 2.30. Horizontal positioning for labels works out, but in a few cases, a modified angle would be desired.</p>
  
  <p>For instance, I tried various values for angle here but without any effect:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ABB -&gt; ABACUS[label="applied", fontname="Arial", fontsize=15, labelangle=110];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I display labels in line with (i.e. parallel to) the edge when using a Graphviz <code>digraph</code>. </p>
  
  <p>The entire <code>digraph</code> will not be posted due to an NDA. In addition, the rotation will be applied only to a few labels.</p>
  
  <p>I have read similar threads like <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2350617/how-to-place-edge-labels-on-edge-in-graphviz">this</a> or <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12934763/graphviz-edge-label-too-close-to-another-edge">another</a> (or a thread about alignment for instance) but without any help regarding my issue.</p>
