Package com.yworks.yfiles.layout.partial Description

Provides class PartialLayout that enables layout of user-specified, distinct parts of a diagram without altering the existing layout of the remainder of the diagram.

More precisely, the algorithm changes the coordinates for a given set of graph elements (called partial elements) while preserving the location and size of the remaining elements (called fixed elements). Hence, it is suitable for applications where users may incrementally add new elements to an existing drawing.

Example Result

The input graph where marked nodes denote the partial elements that where incrementally added to the existing diagram. The result of a partial layout run.
