All edge routing algorithms provided by yFiles implement interface
LayoutStage
.
LayoutStage makes it easy to use an edge routing algorithm as a
postprocessing step to any of the major layout algorithms, for example.
yFiles supports different edge routing styles:
Organic edge routing is described in the section called “Organic Edge Routing”.
This style is encapsulated in class
OrganicEdgeRouter.
Orthogonal edge routing is described in the section called “Orthogonal Edge Routing” and the section called “Channel Edge Routing”. A specialized edge routing algorithm that generates bus-style representations by bundling edges of complete (sub)graphs can be found in the section called “Orthogonal Bus-style Edge Routing”.
This style is encapsulated in classes
OrthogonalEdgeRouter and
ChannelEdgeRouter.
Class BusRouter encapsulates the
bus-routing functionality.
