A hierarchical layout algorithm.
| mxHierarchicalLayout | A hierarchical layout algorithm. |
| Functions | |
| mxHierarchicalLayout | Constructs a new hierarchical layout algorithm. |
| Variables | |
| roots | Holds the array of mxGraphLayouts that this layout contains. |
| resizeParent | Specifies if the parent should be resized after the layout so that it contains all the child cells. |
| moveParent | Specifies if the parent should be moved if resizeParent is enabled. |
| parentBorder | The border to be added around the children if the parent is to be resized using resizeParent. |
| intraCellSpacing | The spacing buffer added between cells on the same layer. |
| interRankCellSpacing | The spacing buffer added between cell on adjacent layers. |
| interHierarchySpacing | The spacing buffer between unconnected hierarchies. |
| parallelEdgeSpacing | The distance between each parallel edge on each ranks for long edges |
| orientation | The position of the root node(s) relative to the laid out graph in. |
| fineTuning | Whether or not to perform local optimisations and iterate multiple times through the algorithm. |
| deterministic | Whether or not cells are ordered according to the order in the graph model. |
| fixRoots | Whether or not to fix the position of the root cells. |
| layoutFromSinks | Whether or not the initial scan of the graph to determine the layer assigned to each vertex starts from the sinks or source (the sinks being vertices with the fewest, preferable zero, outgoing edges and sources same with incoming edges). |
| tightenToSource | Whether or not to tighten the assigned ranks of vertices up towards the source cells. |
| disableEdgeStyle | Specifies if the STYLE_NOEDGESTYLE flag should be set on edges that are modified by the result. |
| model | The internal mxGraphHierarchyModel formed of the layout. |
| Functions | |
| getModel | Returns the internal mxGraphHierarchyModel for this layout algorithm. |
| execute | Executes the layout for the children of the specified parent. |
| run | The API method used to exercise the layout upon the graph description and produce a separate description of the vertex position and edge routing changes made. |
| cycleStage | Executes the cycle stage using mxMinimumCycleRemover. |
| layeringStage | Implements first stage of a Sugiyama layout. |
| crossingStage | Executes the crossing stage using mxMedianHybridCrossingReduction. |
| placementStage | Executes the placement stage using mxCoordinateAssignment. |
function mxHierarchicalLayout( graph, orientation, deterministic )
Constructs a new hierarchical layout algorithm.
| graph | Reference to the enclosing mxGraph. |
| orientation | Optional constant that defines the orientation of this layout. |
| deterministic | Optional boolean that specifies if this layout should be deterministic. Default is true. |
mxHierarchicalLayout.prototype.roots
Holds the array of mxGraphLayouts that this layout contains.
mxHierarchicalLayout.prototype.resizeParent
Specifies if the parent should be resized after the layout so that it contains all the child cells. Default is false. See also parentBorder.
mxHierarchicalLayout.prototype.moveParent
Specifies if the parent should be moved if resizeParent is enabled. Default is false.
mxHierarchicalLayout.prototype.parentBorder
The border to be added around the children if the parent is to be resized using resizeParent. Default is 0.
mxHierarchicalLayout.prototype.orientation
The position of the root node(s) relative to the laid out graph in. Default is mxConstants.DIRECTION_NORTH.
mxHierarchicalLayout.prototype.deterministic
Whether or not cells are ordered according to the order in the graph model. Defaults to false since sorting usually produces quadratic performance. Note that since mxGraph returns edges in a deterministic order, it might be that this layout is always deterministic using that JGraph regardless of this flag setting (i.e. leave it false in that case). Default is true.
mxHierarchicalLayout.prototype.layoutFromSinks
Whether or not the initial scan of the graph to determine the layer assigned to each vertex starts from the sinks or source (the sinks being vertices with the fewest, preferable zero, outgoing edges and sources same with incoming edges). Starting from either direction can tight the layout up and also produce better results for certain types of graphs. If the result for the default is not good enough try a few sample layouts with the value false to see if they improve
mxHierarchicalLayout.prototype.model
The internal mxGraphHierarchyModel formed of the layout.
mxHierarchicalLayout.prototype.getModel = function()
Returns the internal mxGraphHierarchyModel for this layout algorithm.
mxHierarchicalLayout.prototype.execute = function( parent, roots )
Executes the layout for the children of the specified parent.
| parent | Parent mxCell that contains the children to be laid out. |
| roots | Optional starting roots of the layout. |
