Class Summary

CircularLayouter	This layout algorithm arranges graphs in a circular fashion.
ExteriorEdgeLayoutDescriptor	This class provides routing settings for edges routed externally by the CircularLayouter.
NodeTypeAwareSequencer	A NodeSequencer implementation that ensures that all nodes of the same node type are consecutive.
SingleCycleLayouter	This layout algorithm places all nodes of a graph on a single cycle.

Package y.layout.circular Description

Provides circular layout style algorithms.

The circular layout style is characterized by the placement of nodes on a circle.

Two implementations, providing support for single-cycle and multi-cycle layouts, are offered:

• CircularLayouter provides support for single-cycle and multi-cycle layouts of graphs. It decomposes the graph into partitions and arranges the nodes of a partition in a circular style. This way, it is well suited to emphasize different subgraphs and the connections between them.
  CircularLayouter can also place some nodes inside a circle, resulting in the so-called disk-style.
• SingleCycleLayouter is a simple and fast implementation that produces single-cycle layouts of arbitrary graphs.
