General information about the GL

GL sample

These samples show the use of the Grid layout (class IlvGridLayout from the package ilog.views.graphlayout.grid).
The following sample drawings are produced with the Grid Layout (GL).
Grid
layout showing fixed-width tiles and centered alignment within the
tiles (vertical and horizontal)
TILE_TO_GRID_FIXED_WIDTH mode with CENTER horizontal and vertical alignment
In TILE_TO_GRID_FIXED_WIDTH mode with CENTER horizontal and vertical alignment, the red lines are drawn to help identify the grid cells; they are not drawn by the layout algorithm.
Grid
layout showing rows with objects centered vertically
TILE_TO_ROWS mode with CENTER vertical alignment.

What types of graphs suit the GL?

Any graph. However, the links are never considered. This algorithm is designed for placing nodes independently of their links, if they have any.

Application domains for the GL

Any domain where a collection of isolated nodes needs to be laid out.
