Features and limitations of the RL

Features

Random placement of the nodes of a grapher inside a specified region.

Limitations

  • The algorithm computes random coordinates for the upper-left corner of the graphic objects representing the nodes. In some cases, it might not be appropriate.
  • To ensure that the nodes do not overlap the margins of the layout region, the algorithm computes the coordinates randomly inside a region whose width and height are those of the specified layout region reduced by the maximum width and height of the nodes. In some cases, it might not be appropriate.
