Why does plantuml generate (slightly) different coördinates on different systems?

Question

Hi

I'm using plantuml (in cli version) in one of my systems and I have added a snapshot test to check if the plantuml generation works. The problem that I'm facing is that the generated output (svg and latex) is slightly different on the CI server. They are almost equal, but different in the less significant digits.

What is the reason that these are different? The version on my local pc and on the CI server are equal.

This is the diagram that I was generating

@startuml

Entity01 }|..|| Entity02

Entity03 }o..o| Entity04

Entity05 ||--o{ Entity06

Entity07 |o--|| Entity08

This might also be caused by different versions of GraphViz.

You can check :

@startuml
version
@enduml

on both configurations.
