Package ilog.views.graphlayout.hierarchical

The Hierarchical Layout algorithm arranges the nodes of the graph in horizontal or vertical levels, so that the majority of the links point in the same direction (top-down, left-to-right, and so on).

Class Summary

Class	Description
IlvExtremityConstraint	The class IlvExtremityConstraint is a constraint that forces the node to be placed at an extremal level, or at one of the extremal sides of a level.
IlvGroupSpreadConstraint	The class IlvGroupSpreadConstraint is a constraint that forces a group of nodes to be placed no more than a specified number of levels apart.
IlvHierarchicalConstraint	The abstract class IlvHierarchicalConstraint is the base class for constraints of the Hierarchical Layout.
IlvHierarchicalLayout	The main class for the Hierarchical Layout algorithm.
IlvHierarchicalLayoutGrapherProperty	The class IlvHierarchicalLayoutGrapherProperty allows you to store the global settings of an instance of IlvHierarchicalLayout as a named property in the grapher.
IlvHierarchicalLayoutLinkProperty	The class IlvHierarchicalLayoutLinkProperty allows you to store the settings of an instance of IlvHierarchicalLayout for an individual link as a named property in the link.
IlvHierarchicalLayoutNodeProperty	The class IlvHierarchicalLayoutNodeProperty allows you to store the settings of an instance of IlvHierarchicalLayout for an individual node as a named property in the node.
IlvLevelRangeConstraint	The class IlvLevelRangeConstraint is a constraint that forces the node to be placed at a level with index within the specified range.
IlvNodeGroup	The class IlvNodeGroup allows to create a group of nodes that is subject to a constraint.
IlvRelativeConstraint	IlvRelativeConstraint is the base class of IlvRelativeLevelConstraint and IlvRelativePositionConstraint.
IlvRelativeLevelConstraint	The class IlvRelativeLevelConstraint is a constraint to place a node relative to another node.
IlvRelativePositionConstraint	The class IlvRelativePositionConstraint is a constraint to place a node relative to another node that belongs to the same level.
IlvSameLevelConstraint	The class IlvSameLevelConstraint is a constraint that forces two nodes to be placed at the same level.
IlvSideBySideConstraint	The class IlvSideBySideConstraint is a constraint that forces a group of nodes that belong to the same level to be placed side by side.
IlvSwimLaneConstraint	The class IlvSwimLaneConstraint is a constraint that forces a group of nodes to be placed in the same column or row.

The Hierarchical Layout algorithm arranges the nodes of the graph in horizontal or vertical levels, so that the majority of the links point in the same direction (top-down, left-to-right, and so on).
