LL samples
These sample drawings were produced with
the Link Layout algorithm:
Short link layout with orthogonal
links
The same graph in short link layout
with direct links
Long link layout with orthogonal links
What types of graphs suit the LL?
Any type of graph where nodes are fixed
and links need to be routed:
- planar graphs and nonplanar graphs.
- nested graphs with intergraph links
Application domains for the LL
Application domains of the Link Layout
include:
- Electrical engineering (circuit block diagrams)
- Industrial engineering (schematic design diagrams, equipment/resource control charts)
- Business processing (entity relation diagrams)
- Software management/software (re-)engineering (data inspector diagrams)
- Database and knowledge engineering (sociology, genealogy)
- CASE tools (design diagrams)
