General parameters

Most layout parameters that work for the free layout mode work as well for the level layout mode. You can set the flow direction, the spacing offsets, the global or individual link style, and the global or individual alignment. See Free layout mode for details.
The differences from the free layout mode are:
  • Tip-over alignment does not work in level layout mode.
  • The parent-child offset parameter controls the spacing between the levels. In level layout mode, it is the minimum distance between parent and its child nodes, while in free layout mode, it is the exact distance between parent and its child nodes.
  • The overlap percentage has no effect in level layout mode.
