Provides organic layout style algorithms that are based on the force-directed layout paradigm.
com.yworks.yfiles.layout.organic.SmartOrganicLayouter, the main implementation for the organic layout style, supports both complete re-layout of a given diagram as well as incremental layout where only a subset of a diagram should be rearranged.
Also, SmartOrganicLayouter (SOL) supports layout of "flat" as well as grouped graphs, i.e., graphs where nodes are contained within other, so-called group nodes.
Note that com.yworks.yfiles.layout.organic.OrganicLayouter is a legacy layout algorithm for the organic layout style. It is superseded by SOL, which adds features to prevent node (label) overlaps and to keep minimum distances between the nodes.
See the description in the yFiles FLEX Developer's Guide (Analysis and Layout Part) section on the organic layout style.
| Interface | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| InteractiveOrganicLayouter_SingleThreadContext | Context object that provides controls of layout calculation in case the layouter runs single-threaded. |
| Class | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| GRIP | This class implements a variant of the GRIP algorithm by P Gajer and SG Kobourov: "Graph Drawing with Intelligent Placement". | |
| GroupedShuffleLayouter | This class uses a customizable shuffle layout algorithm to recursively remove node overlaps from grouped graph structures. | |
| InteractiveOrganicLayouter | The InteractiveOrganicLayouter is a special organic layouter that offers functionality to change the laid out graph while the layouter is running. | |
| OrganicLayouter | A graph layout algorithm that is based on a force directed model. | |
| OrganicPartitionGridLayoutStage | Layout stage that is used for handling a given partition grid structure that is attached to a graph with DataProvider com.yworks.yfiles.layout.grid.PartitionGrid.PARTITION_GRID_DPKEY. | |
| OrganicRemoveOverlapsStage | This LayoutStage removes node overlaps considering the specified minimal node distance. | |
| OutputRestriction | Implementations of this class can be set via a setOutputRestriction(OutputRestriction) method, e.g. | |
| RemoveOverlapsLayoutStage | This LayoutStage removes node overlaps and guarantees a certain minimal node distance. | |
| ShuffleLayouter | This layout stage removes node overlaps in a layout graph by using a method which is based on a famous russian arcade game. | |
| SmartOrganicLayouter | This class can be used as a convenience class to gain access to a variety of organic layout algorithms. | |
| SplitEdgeLayoutStage | This layout stage replaces edges by a path of nodes before it calls a core layouter. |
