Generic features and parameters of the GL

The IlvGridLayout class supports the following generic parameters defined in the IlvGraphLayout class (see Base class parameters and features):
Extra feature for JViews Diagrammer:
The following comments describe the particular way in which these parameters are used by this subclass.

Allowed time (GL)

The layout algorithm stops if the allowed time setting has elapsed. (For a description of this layout parameter in the IlvGraphLayout class, see Allowed time.) The result code in the layout report is IlvGraphLayoutReport.STOPPED_AND_INVALID .

Layout region (GL)

The layout algorithm uses the layout region setting (either your own or the default setting) to control the size and the position of the graph drawing. All three ways to specify the layout region are available for this subclass. (See Layout region.)
The layout region is considered differently depending on the layout mode. For details, see Layout modes (GL).

Preserve fixed nodes (GL)

The layout algorithm does not move the nodes that are specified as fixed. (See Preserve fixed nodes.) Moreover, nonfixed nodes are placed in such a manner that overlaps with fixed nodes are avoided.

Save parameters to named properties (GL)

The layout algorithm can save its layout parameters in named properties. This can be used to save layout parameters to .ivl files. (For a detailed description of this feature, see Save parameters to named properties and Saving layout parameters and preferred layouts.)

Stop immediately (GL)

The layout algorithm stops after cleanup if the method ilog.views.graphlayout.IlvGraphLayout.stopImmediately() is called. (For a description of this method in the IlvGraphLayout class, see Stop immediately.) If the layout stops early because the allowed time has elapsed, the result code in the layout report is IlvGraphLayoutReport.STOPPED_AND_INVALID .
