HL samples
Describes the Hierarchical Layout
algorithm (class IlvHierarchicalLayout from the package ilog.views.graphlayout.hierarchical).
The following sample drawings are produced
with the Hierarchical Layout:
Sample layout with self-loops,
multiple links, and cycles
Flowchart with orthogonal link style
Sample layout with ports and
orthogonal link style
Sample layout of nested graph in
recursive layout mode
What types of graphs suit the HL?
Any type of graph, as follows:
- preferably graphs with directed links
- planar graphs and nonplanar graphs
- nested graphs with intergraph links
Application domains for the HL
Application domains for the Hierarchical
Layout include:
- Electrical engineering (logic diagrams, circuit block diagrams)
- Industrial engineering (industrial process diagrams, schematic design diagrams)
- Business processing (workflow diagrams, process flow diagrams, PERT charts)
- Software management/software (re-)engineering (UML diagrams, flowcharts, data inspector diagrams, call graphs)
- Database and knowledge engineering (database query graphs)
- CASE tools (designs diagrams)
