Placer that can be used as simple "pseudo"-placer. May be useful if the localRoot does not have any children or you want to place them manually.

Constructor Detail
FreePlacer()Constructor
public function FreePlacer(init:Boolean = true)

Creates a new instance with the default matrix.

Parameters
init:Boolean (default = true) — An internally used switch to help handle proper instance initialization in inheritance chains where classes can have multiple constructor-like factory methods. This parameter can safely be ignored/omitted when calling the constructor.
Method Detail
createProcessor()method
override public function createProcessor(layouter:GenericTreeLayouter, graph:LayoutGraph, currentRoot:Node):Processor

Creates a processor suitable to the FreePlacer. This processor will change all descendants node placers to FreePlacer.

Parameters

layouter:GenericTreeLayouter
 
graph:LayoutGraph
 
currentRoot:Node

Returns
Processor
determineChildConnector()method 
override protected function determineChildConnector(child:Node):int

Parameters

child:Node

Returns
int — com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.NodePlacerCompanion.DIRECTION_NONE

initFreePlacer()method 
protected final function initFreePlacer():void

Initializes this object. See the documentation of the corresponding factory method newFreePlacer() for details.
