y.layout.router
Class EdgeGroupRouterStage

java.lang.Object
  extended by y.layout.AbstractLayoutStage
      extended by y.layout.router.EdgeGroupRouterStage
All Implemented Interfaces:
Layouter, LayoutStage

public class EdgeGroupRouterStage
extends AbstractLayoutStage

EdgeGroupRouterStage adds support for a bus-like routing style for OrthogonalEdgeRouter.

Edges that are assigned to edge groups using DataProviders registered with PortConstraintKeys.SOURCE_GROUPID_KEY and PortConstraintKeys.TARGET_GROUPID_KEY will share parts of their paths. This stage tries to route grouped edges on a vertical or horizontal bus. The edges will connect to their common node at the same port coordinates.

There are some limitations to this stage:

Graph containing edge groups

 
EdgeGroupRouterStage will not have an effect with edge routing algorithms other than OrthogonalEdgeRouter.

Constructor Detail

EdgeGroupRouterStage

public EdgeGroupRouterStage(Layouter coreLayouter)
Creates a new instance of EdgeGroupRouterStage using the given core layout algorithm.

 
EdgeGroupRouterStage provides an optimization step for OrthogonalEdgeRouter and will not work with other edge routing algorithms.
Parameters:
coreLayouter - the given core layout algorithm
Method Detail

getMinimalBusDistance

public double getMinimalBusDistance()
Returns the minimum distance between a bus formed by an edge group and the nodes to which the grouped edges connect.

The minimum bus distance needs to be non-negative.

Returns:
the minimum distance of the bus to its connected nodes
See Also:
setMinimalBusDistance(double)

setMinimalBusDistance

public void setMinimalBusDistance(double minimalBusDistance)
Specifies the minimum distance between a bus formed by an edge group and the nodes to which the grouped edges connect.

The minimum bus distance needs to be non-negative.

Default Value:
The default value is 15.0.
Parameters:
minimalBusDistance - the minimum distance of the bus to its connected nodes
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified distance is negative

canLayout

public boolean canLayout(LayoutGraph graph)
Accepts all graphs that are accepted by the core layout algorithm.

Parameters:
graph - the input graph
Returns:
true if the core layout algorithm can handle the graph, false otherwise
See Also:
Layouter.doLayout(LayoutGraph)

doLayout

public void doLayout(LayoutGraph graph)
Handles edge grouping for the core layout algorithm.

Precondition:
The core layout algorithm must be an instance of OrthogonalEdgeRouter or at least must have such an instance in its layout pipeline.
Parameters:
graph - the input graph

Layouter.canLayout(LayoutGraph)
