Classes
| Class | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | GRIP |
This class implements a variant of the GRIP algorithm by
P Gajer and SG Kobourov: "Graph Drawing with
Intelligent Placement".
|
| GroupedShuffleLayouter |
This class uses a customizable shuffle layout algorithm to recursively remove node
overlaps from grouped graph structures.
|
| InteractiveOrganicLayouter |
The InteractiveOrganicLayouter is a special organic layouter that offers functionality to change the
laid out graph while the layouter is running.
|
| OrganicLayouter | A graph layout algorithm that is based on a force directed model. |
| OutputRestriction | Implementations of this class can be set via a setOutputRestriction(OutputRestriction) method, e.g. |
| RemoveOverlapsLayoutStage |
This LayoutStage removes node overlaps and guarantees a certain minimal
node distance.
|
| ShuffleLayouter |
This layout stage removes node overlaps in a layout graph by using a method
which is based on a famous russian arcade game.
|
| SmartOrganicLayouter |
This class can be used as a convenience class to gain access to a variety of
organic layout algorithms.
|
| SplitEdgeLayoutStage |
This layout stage replaces edges by a path of nodes before it calls
a core layouter.
|
Enumerations
| Enumeration | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | GroupsPolicy | Node group policy specifier. |
| HorizontalOverlapCriterion | Horizontal overlap criteria enumeration constant. |
| InitialPlacement | Initial placement strategy. |
| Scope | |
| SphereOfAction | Sphere of action specifier. |
Remarks
SmartOrganicLayouter
, the main implementation for the organic
layout style, supports both complete re-layout of a given diagram as well as incremental
layout where only a subset of a diagram should be rearranged.
Also, SmartOrganicLayouter (SOL) supports layout of "flat" as well as grouped graphs,
i.e., graphs where nodes are contained within other, so-called group nodes.
InteractiveOrganicLayouter provides support for interactive organic layout.
Note that OrganicLayouter is a legacy layout algorithm for the organic layout style. It is superseded by SOL, which adds features to prevent node (label) overlaps and to keep minimum distances between the nodes.
