Class Summary

CircularLayouter	This layout algorithm arranges graphs in a circular fashion.
CompactDiskLayouter	This layout algorithm arranges a graph on a disk packing the nodes as dense as possible.
EdgeLayoutDescriptor	This class provides routing settings for edges routed internally by the CircularLayouter.
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.
