public class CompactOrthogonalLayouter : PartitionLayouter

Public Class CompactOrthogonalLayouter _
	Inherits PartitionLayouter

This class is a variant of OrthogonalLayouter that tries to arrange nodes in a more compact way, even allowing to specify a desired aspect ratio for the bounds of the calculated layout. This is especially important if you want to print the layout on a paper with predefined size. As a disadvantage, this algorithm will usually produce less elegant edge routes than OrthogonalLayouter does.

The algorithm is realized as a PartitionLayouter , that uses PartitionLayouter..::..EdgeBetweennessPartitionFinder to partition the graph, OrthogonalLayouter to layout the graph partitions, PartitionLayouter..::..ComponentPartitionPlacer to place the partitions, and finally PartitionLayouter..::..ChannelInterEdgeRouter to route the edges between partitions. Each of these strategies can be individually configured and/or replaced.

Here is a sample output of the layouter with aspect ratio of the resulting layout bounds set to 1.
