Library: ilvhierarchical
The Hierarchical Layout arranges the nodes in horizontal or vertical levels, such that the majority of the links point in the same direction and the number of link crossings is small.
A sample drawing produced by the Hierarchical Layout algorithm, with two levels of nodes that are top justified within each level:
Another sample drawing with eight levels. This graph contains a cycle and a self-loop. The direction of the flow is from top to bottom. The nodes are organized in horizontal levels.
The Hierarchical Layout algorithm supports different styles of links in the same drawing. The following sample drawing shows orthogonal, straight, and polyline links: The direction of the flow is to the right, and the node levels are vertical.
See the corresponding chapter of the User's Manual for details on the algorithm, the types of graphs for which this algorithm can be used, the features and limitations, code samples, and so on.
Note the following points:
| IlvHierarchicalLayout::IlvHierarchicalLayout | ( | ) |
Creates a new instance of the Hierarchical Layout algorithm.
To indicate the grapher you want to lay out, use the method attach().
To indicate the graph model you want to lay out, use the method attach().
To perform the layout, use the method performLayout().
To modify the layout parameters, use the different methods provided in this class and its superclass.
|
virtual |
Destructor..
If necessary, it detaches this instance from the graph model or the grapher, respectively, before destroying this layout instance.
|
virtual |
Deletes properties attached to the node or link.
When you perform the layout, some properties are attached to objects and this method is responsible for removing them from the object and deleting them.
Reimplemented from IlvGraphLayout.
|
virtual |
Detaches the graph model from the layout instance.
When you attach a new graph model to the layout instance, it is not necessary to detach the old graph model because this is done automatically when you call attach(). The detach() method performs cleaning operations on the graph model or the grapher. Additional to the cleaning operations in the base class, Hierarchical Layout removes the layout specification per node and link as well as the calculated level index and calculated position index from the nodes.
IlvGraphLayout::attach(). IlvGraphLayout::attach(). getCalcNodeLevelIndex(). getCalcNodePositionIndex(). Reimplemented from IlvGraphLayout.
Returns the calculated level index of a node after performing a layout.
If there was no call of performLayout() before, it returns -1.
Nodes are organized in horizontal or vertical levels numbered from 0 to n. If the link flow direction is from top to bottom, the nodes with level index 0 are placed in the top-most level, and the nodes with higher level indices are placed in the levels below. If the link flow direction is from left to right, the nodes with level index 0 are placed in the left-most level, and the nodes with higher level indices are placed in the levels more to the right.
Note the difference between calculated and specified level index: The layout algorithm assigns level indices to all nodes, even if no level index is specified. Therefore, the method getSpecNodeLevelIndex() returns -1 for nodes that have no level index specified, but the method getCalcNodeLevelIndex() returns a non-negative number, that is, the real index of the level after layout.
| node | A node of the attached grapher or graph model. |
Returns the calculated index of the node position within a level after performing a layout.
If there was no call of performLayout() before, it returns -1.
Nodes are organized in horizontal or vertical levels. Within each level, the nodes are placed sequentially at relative positions numbered from 0 to n. If the link flow direction is from top to bottom, the node with position index 0 is placed left-most within its level, and the nodes with higher position indices are placed more to the right. If the link flow direction is from left to right, the node with position index 0 is placed top-most within its level, and the nodes with higher position indices are placed below.
Note the difference between calculated and specified position index: The layout algorithm assigns position indices to all nodes, even if no position index is specified. Therefore, the method getSpecNodePositionIndex() returns -1 for nodes that have no position index specified, but the method getCalcNodePositionIndex() returns a non-negative number, that is, the real index of the position within its level after layout.
| node | A node of the attached grapher or graph model. |

|
protectedvirtual |
Computes the layout using the Hierarchical Layout algorithm.
To start the layout, call the method performLayout().
IlvGraphLayout::performLayout(). Implements IlvGraphLayout.
| void IlvHierarchicalLayout::setConnectorStyle | ( | IlvLayoutConnectorStyle | style | ) |
Sets the option for the style of connectors.
Valid values are:
IlvLayoutCenteredPins - the link connector pins are placed in the center of the border the link is attached to. IlvLayoutClippedPins - each link pointing to the center of the node is clipped at the node border. IlvLayoutEvenlySpacedPins - the link connector pins are evenly spaced along the node border. IlvLayoutAutomaticPins - the connector style is selected depending on the link style. The default value is IlvLayoutAutomaticPins.
Note that, when the graph attached to the layout is of type IlvGrapher, the connector style only has an effect if a pin is installed at the nodes.
If the method isLinkReplacementAllowed() returns IlTrue, the layout algorithm calls the method ensureReshapeableLinks() to ensure that the connector pins of all the links can be repositioned. It installs a subclass of IlvGrapherPin at the nodes.
| style | The style of the placement of connector pins for links. |
| void IlvHierarchicalLayout::setFlowDirection | ( | IlvDirection | flowDirection | ) |
Sets the option for direction of the link flow.
Valid values are:
IlvRight - the majority of the links flow to the right. IlvLeft - the majority of the links flow to the left. IlvBottom - the majority of the links flow to the bottom. IlvTop - the majority of the links flow to the top. This method sets the direction of the flow for the majority of the links in a directed graph. The layout algorithm may need to direct some links in the opposite direction of the general link flow. If the links flow to the left or right, the nodes are placed in vertical levels. If the links flow to the top or bottom, the nodes are placed in horizontal levels.
The default value is IlvRight.
| flowDirection | The direction the majority of the links flow into. |
getFlowDirection(). | void IlvHierarchicalLayout::setGlobalLinkStyle | ( | IlvLayoutLinkStyle | style | ) |
Sets the option for the global style of the shapes of links.
Valid values are:
IlvLayoutPolylineLinkStyle - all links get a polyline shape, that is, a shape consisting of a sequence of line segments. IlvLayoutOrthogonalLinkStyle - all links get an orthogonal shape, that is, a shape consisting of a sequence of orthogonal line segments. IlvLayoutStraightLineLinkStyle - all links get a straight-line shape. IlvLayoutNoReshapeLinkStyle - no reshape is performed on any link. IlvLayoutMixedLinkStyle - each link can have a different link style. In this case, the style of each individual link can be set by the method setLinkStyle(), such that different link shapes can occur in the same graph. This feature can be useful if the graph contains links that can have intermediate points and are not straight-line links, for instance links of type IlvPolylineLinkImage.
Unless the global link style is IlvLayoutMixedLinkStyle, all links have the same style of shape.
The default value is IlvLayoutPolylineLinkStyle.
Note that, when the graph attached to the layout is of type IlvGrapher, the effect of the link reshaping depends on the type of link. For the following link types, the reshaping has no effect:
If the method isLinkReplacementAllowed() returns IlTrue, the layout algorithm calls the method ensureReshapeableLinks() to ensure that all the links can be reshaped. It replaces the non-reshapeable links by links of type IlvPolylineLinkImage.
| style | The global style of the shape of all links. |
| void IlvHierarchicalLayout::setHorizontalLinkOffset | ( | IlvPos | offset | ) |
Sets the horizontal offset between parallel segments of links.
In the orthogonal link style, the segments attached directly to the node may have a smaller offset if the node is too small or the number of incident links is too large to satisfy the specified offset.
The default value is 15.
| offset | The horizontal offset between links. |
getHorizontalLinkOffset(). | void IlvHierarchicalLayout::setHorizontalNodeLinkOffset | ( | IlvPos | offset | ) |
Sets the horizontal offset between a node and a link segment that is parallel to the node border.
The default value is 20.
| offset | The horizontal offset between a node and a link. |
getHorizontalNodeLinkOffset(). | void IlvHierarchicalLayout::setHorizontalNodeOffset | ( | IlvPos | offset | ) |
Sets the horizontal offset between nodes.
If the levels are horizontal, this is the minimum distance between the nodes of the same level. If the levels are vertical, this is the minimum distance between the nodes of different levels.
The default value is 40.
| offset | The horizontal offset between nodes. |
getHorizontalNodeOffset(). | void IlvHierarchicalLayout::setLevelJustification | ( | IlvDirection | justification | ) |
Sets the option for the justification within the levels.
Valid values are:
IlvCenter. IlvLeft. IlvRight. IlvTop. IlvBottom. This method sets the justification of the nodes within each level. If the nodes are center justified, all nodes of the same level are placed with their centers along a line. Otherwise, all nodes of the same level are placed with the specified border justified to a line. If the link flow direction is to the left or right, the nodes can be justified to the left, center, or right. If the link flow direction is to the top or bottom, the nodes can be justified to the top, center, or bottom.
The default value is IlvCenter.
| justification | The justification of the nodes within each level. |
getLevelJustification(). setFlowDirection(). Sets the priority of a link.
The layout algorithm tries to place the links in a way such that the majority of the links are short and point in the same direction. However, this is not always possible for all links. Low priority links are more likely to be longer or point in the opposite direction than the high priority links.
| link | A link of the attached grapher or graph model. |
| priority | The priority of this link. |
getLinkPriority(). | void IlvHierarchicalLayout::setLinkStyle | ( | IlAny | link, |
| IlvLayoutLinkStyle | style | ||
| ) |
Sets the option for the style of the shape of an individual link.
This link style is only used if the global link style is set to IlvLayoutMixedLinkStyle. Otherwise, all links have the style that is specified as the global link style.
Valid values are:
IlvLayoutPolylineLinkStyle - the link gets a polyline shape, that is, a shape consisting of a sequence of line segments. IlvLayoutOrthogonalLinkStyle - the link gets an orthogonal shape, that is, a shape consisting of a sequence of orthogonal line segments. IlvLayoutStraightLineLinkStyle - the link gets a straight-line shape. IlvLayoutNoReshapeLinkStyle - no reshape is performed on the link. This feature can be useful if the link can have intermediate points and is not a straight-line link, for instance a link of type IlvPolylineLinkImage.
The default value is IlvLayoutPolylineLinkStyle.
Note that, when the graph attached to the layout is of type IlvGrapher, the effect of the link reshaping depends on the type of link. For the following link types, the reshaping has no effect:
If the method isLinkReplacementAllowed() returns IlTrue, the layout algorithm calls the method ensureReshapeableLinks() to ensure that all the links can be reshaped. It replaces the non-reshapeable links by links of type IlvPolylineLinkImage.
| link | A link of the attached grapher or graph model. |
| style | The style of the shape of this link. |
Sets the index of the specified level for a node.
Nodes are organized in horizontal or vertical levels numbered from 0 to n. If the link flow direction is from top to bottom, the nodes with level index 0 are placed in the top-most level, and the nodes with higher level indices are placed in the levels below. If the link flow direction is from left to right, the nodes with level index 0 are placed in the left-most level, and the nodes with higher level indices are placed in the levels more to the right.
This method allows you to specify the level where a node should be placed. If the level index of a node is set to a negative value, it means that there is no preference for the level of the node. In this case, the layout algorithm calculates an appropriate level index.
The default level index of a node is -1, that is, the layout algorithm determines the appropriate level automatically.
| node | A node of the attached grapher or graph model. |
| index | The level index desired for this node. |
getFlowDirection(). getSpecNodeLevelIndex(). Sets the index of the specified position of a node within a level.
Nodes are organized in horizontal or vertical levels. Within each level, the nodes are placed sequentially at relative positions numbered from 0 to n. If the link flow direction is from top to bottom, the node with position index 0 is placed left-most within its level, and the nodes with higher position indices are placed more to the right. If the link flow direction is from left to right, the node with position index 0 is placed top-most within its level, and the nodes with higher position indices are placed below.
This method allows you to specify the relative position where a node should be placed within its level. If the position index of a node is set to a negative value, it means that there is no preference for the position of the node. In this case, the layout algorithm calculates an appropriate position index. If the position index is higher than the number of nodes in the level, the position index is ignored. If two nodes of the same level have the same position index, one of the indices is ignored. The layout algorithm calculates an appropriate position index for the nodes that have inappropriate or conflicting position indices.
The default position index of a node is -1, that is, the layout algorithm determines the appropriate position automatically.
| node | A node of the attached grapher or graph model. |
| index | The position index desired for this node. |
getFlowDirection(). getSpecNodePositionIndex(). | void IlvHierarchicalLayout::setVerticalLinkOffset | ( | IlvPos | offset | ) |
Sets the vertical offset between parallel segments of links.
In the orthogonal link style, the segments attached directly to the node may have a smaller offset if the node is too small or the number of incident links is too large to satisfy the specified offset.
The default value is 15.
| offset | The vertical offset between links. |
getVerticalLinkOffset(). | void IlvHierarchicalLayout::setVerticalNodeLinkOffset | ( | IlvPos | offset | ) |
Sets the vertical offset between a node and a link segment that is parallel to the node border.
The default value is 20.
| offset | The vertical offset between a node and a link. |
getVerticalNodeLinkOffset(). | void IlvHierarchicalLayout::setVerticalNodeOffset | ( | IlvPos | offset | ) |
Sets the vertical offset between nodes.
If the levels are vertical, this is the minimum distance between the nodes of the same level. If the levels are horizontal, this is the minimum distance between the nodes of different levels.
The default value is 40.
| offset | The vertical offset between nodes. |
getVerticalNodeOffset().

Fixed nodes are not moved during the layout if IlTrue is passed as the argument to the method setPreserveFixedNodes(). Links that are incident to fixed nodes are not reshaped during the layout. Fixed nodes are ignored by the Hierarchical Layout algorithm, which may lead to node overlapping.
IlTrue. Reimplemented from IlvGraphLayout.
