Remarks

Layout stage that automatically translates label layout information provided by the standard label layout classes IEdgeLabelLayout and INodeLabelLayout to layout data of type LabelLayoutData that is accessible by the keys defined in class LabelLayoutKeys .

One can use this layout stage as label layouter of a label aware layouter like HierarchicLayouter . This can be done by assigning the stage by an appropriate call to setLabelLayouter .

Note that care must be taken on the choice of label model that is used by the classes IEdgeLabelLayout and INodeLabelLayout . The calculated label positions must be consistent with the label positions allowed by the label model. The best label layout results are achieved by choosing FreeEdgeLabelLayoutModel for edge layouts and FreeNodeLabelLayoutModel for node layouts.
