yFiles Tutorial Demos for Tree Layout

This package contains tutorial source code demos that showcase various aspects of the yFiles tree layout facilities.

Class Description
demo.layout.tree.CollapsibleTreeDemo This demo shows how subtrees can be collapsed and expanded by simply clicking on their respective root nodes. Several different layout algorithms can be chosen: y.layout.tree.TreeLayouter, y.layout.tree.BalloonLayouter, y.layout.organic.SmartOrganicLayouter, and y.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter.
demo.layout.tree.TreeLayoutConfigurationDemo This demo serves as a launcher for the tree layout styles offered by TreeLayoutConfiguration.
demo.layout.tree.DendrogramLayouterDemo This demo shows how to dynamically maintain a tree as a dendrogram.
demo.layout.tree.IncrementalTreeLayouterDemo This demo shows how GenericTreeLayouter can handle port constraints and multiple different NodePlacer instances and implementations at the same time.
demo.layout.tree.AssistantPlacerDemo This demo shows how to use GenericTreeLayouter in conjunction with AssistantPlacer.
demo.layout.tree.RotatableNodePlacersDemo This demo presents GenericTreeLayouter in conjunction with node placers that support subtree rotation.

Running the Demos

From Within an IDE

Set <yFilesDir>/src as your source directory. Then add <yFilesDir>/lib/y.jar and the source folder <yFilesDir>/src to your classpath. Now you should be ready to compile and run all executable demo classes.

With Ant

First make sure you have the build tool Ant installed on your system. Now you can use the demo build script build.xml located in <yFilesDir>/src/demo to launch each demo by specifying its simple class name as a target. Alternatively, launch the interactive demo driver by specifying run as target to conveniently access all demos.
