Use Graphviz to show two tables adjacent to each other with lines between cells

I would like to show the diagram below, except with the two tables on the same horizontal level. I would like the second table to be shown to the right of the first table and not below it like it is currently.

enter image description here

The current code for graphviz that I have is:

digraph G  {



   node [shape=record, fontname="Arial"];



   set1 [label = "{Blue Crosses | B1 | B2 | B3 | B4 }|{ Square |<b1>  Left |<b2> Left |<b3> Right | Left }"];

   set2 [label = "{Blue Crosses |<b1> B1 |<b2> B2 |<b3> B3 }|{ Coordinates | (1, 1) | (2, 2) | (4, 2) }"];



  set1:b1 -> set2:b1;

  set1:b2 -> set2:b2;

  set1:b3 -> set2:b3;



}

In order to achieve what you want, you need to add the line

{ rank = same; set1 set2 }

to your code after you have created the nodes. However, in this situation, you will find that graphviz gets confused and doesn't recognise the ports anymore. So instead of using record = shape you will need to re-code your graph with HTML-like labels. I have done that for the example provided (thanks for a clear question with code and desired outcome, by the way):

digraph G  

{

   node[ shape = none, fontname = "Arial" ];



    set1[ label=<

    <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLBORDER="1" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="4">

        <TR>

            <TD>Blue Crosses</TD>

            <TD>Square</TD>

        </TR>

        <TR>

            <TD>B1</TD>

            <TD PORT="b1">Left</TD>

        </TR>

        <TR>

            <TD>B2</TD>

            <TD PORT="b2">Left</TD>

        </TR>

        <TR>

            <TD>Right</TD>

            <TD PORT="b3">Right</TD>

        </TR>

        <TR>

            <TD>B4</TD>

            <TD>Left</TD>

        </TR>

    </TABLE>>];



    set2[ label=<

    <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLBORDER="1" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="4">

        <TR>

            <TD>Blue Crosses</TD>

            <TD>Coordinates</TD>

        </TR>

        <TR>

            <TD PORT="b1">B1</TD>

            <TD>(1, 1)</TD>

        </TR>

        <TR>

            <TD PORT="b2">B2</TD>

            <TD>(2, 2)</TD>

        </TR>

        <TR>

            <TD PORT="b3">B3</TD>

            <TD>(4, 2)</TD>

        </TR>

    </TABLE>>];    



    # layout

    nodesep = 2;                /* increase distance between nodes */

    { rank = same; set1 set2 }



    set1:b1 -> set2:b1;

    set1:b2 -> set2:b2;

    set1:b3 -> set2:b3;

}

yields

Thanks, I didn't try the html labels before and kept being stuck with Graphviz getting confused when I attempted to add ranking to my previous code.
