The generic features and parameters of graph layout described in
Base class parameters and features allow
you to customize the behavior of the layout algorithms to meet
specific needs and to perform useful operations such as saving
the layout parameters in a file.
The following table indicates the generic features and parameters
that are supported by each layout algorithm. These parameters are
defined in the base class for all layout algorithms,
