Migration Guide: Layout Major Changes of Default Values

Major Renamings

Many API members have been renamed to achieve better consistency and uniformity throughout the entire API. The following tables list major renamings of algorithm/stage classes and other important classes. Warning: It is not a complete listing of name changes!

This chapter presents renamings of more general concepts with respect to layout algorithms. For migration help with specific algorithms, please refer to the respective chapters (e.g., Hierarchical Layout).
