• the 'shape' property is used to select one of the symbols shown above.
• 'box' is the default shape
• 'rhomboid' can be used as an alias for 'rhomb'
• the proportions adapt to the label text, unless explicitly set otherwise
• changing the 'orientation' of a graph influences the orientation of its shapes;
  the graph below was defined with 'orientation left_to_right':
