Description

Interface Summary

EdgeInfo	A class that holds all information associated with an edge.
EdgeLabelInfo	A class that holds all information related to an edge label.
ElementFactory	Factory used by class MultiPageLayouter to create special nodes and edges.
ElementInfoManager	Interface that offers access to the information objects of graph elements.
LayoutCallback	Callback that is invoked when a MultiPageLayouter has calculated a new multi-page layout.
NodeInfo	This interface offers access to information associated with a node.
NodeLabelInfo	A class that holds all information related to a node label.

Class Summary

DefaultElementFactory	This class is a default implementation of interface ElementFactory.
LayoutContext	This class represents the layout context.
MultiPageLayout	This class represents the result of a layout run of MultiPageLayouter.
MultiPageLayouter	This layout algorithm subdivides the input graph into several LayoutGraphs (called page graphs) such that the layout (calculated by the specified core layout algorithm) of each graph fits the specified maximum page size.

Package y.layout.multipage Description

Provides the MultiPageLayouter that subdivides the input graph into several smaller graphs whose layouts fit the specified maximum page size. The algorithm adds special nodes to guarantee that no information is lost when splitting edges that connect nodes placed on different pages.

Example graphs

The input graph.

The input graph is subdivided into two pages with size 500x500. Circular nodes denote the so-called connectors that split edges to nodes placed on other pages. The label of a connector corresponds to that of the opposite node of the split edge.
