A ITreeLayoutNodePlacer is responsible for the arrangement of a local root node and all of its subtrees.
Remarks
Subtrees are represented as SubtreeShapes with a connecting edge to the root of the subtree.
Implementations of this interface have to:
- arrange the SubtreeShapes and the root node (only the relative position matters, shapes can be placed at any absolute location, TreeLayout will perform the final alignment).
- perform the edge routing from the root node to all child nodes with respect to the connector provided by the SubtreeShapes
- calculate the union of the SubtreeShapes and the shape of the root node as well as any added edges
- initialize the connector of the root node with respect to the preferred connection direction
- return the SubtreeShape for the subtree including the local root

Methods
Creates an optional IProcessor for pre- and post-processing.
Remarks
null.Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- layouter - TreeLayout
- the current TreeLayout instance
- graph - LayoutGraph
- the input graph
- currentRoot - YNode
- the root node handled by this ITreeLayoutNodePlacer
Returns
- ↪IProcessor
- a IProcessor instance or
null
Provides the direction of the connector to the SubtreeShape for each child node.
Remarks
Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
placeSubtree
(nodeShapeProvider: IDataProvider, subtreeShapeProvider: IDataProvider, graph: LayoutGraph, localRoot: YNode, parentConnectorDirection: ParentConnectorDirection) : SubtreeShapeArranges the SubtreeShapes of the local root and its children and routes the edges that connect them.
Remarks
This method is the main method of the tree layout algorithm. It is called by TreeLayout in each recursion step to place the local root in relation to its children. Their shapes will be merged into one SubtreeShape, which is returned by this method.
The SubtreeShape for the local root can be obtained from the nodeShapeProvider. subtreeShapeProvider contains the SubtreeShapes assigned to the child nodes.
Due to the order in which the tree nodes are processed, it is guaranteed that at the time of the invocation of this method the SubtreeShape of every descendant node has already been calculated.
Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- nodeShapeProvider - IDataProvider
- the IDataProvider for obtaining an initial shape of the root node
Domain YNode Values SubtreeShape the shape of the node - subtreeShapeProvider - IDataProvider
- the IDataProvider for accessing the pre-calculated shapes of the subtrees
Domain YNode Values SubtreeShape the shape of the subtree rooted at the node - graph - LayoutGraph
- the input graph
- localRoot - YNode
- the root of the subtree that should be arranged by this method
- parentConnectorDirection - ParentConnectorDirection
- the direction specifier for the connector of the local root node to its parent node
Returns
- ↪SubtreeShape
- the combined shape of the whole subtree
