The Dashboard Editor allows you to perform an automatic
link layout of your dashboard diagram.
To perform an automatic link layout:
-
Click Options > Link Layout Enabled in
the menu bar.
A check mark appears in front of the menu item to indicate
that the layout is enabled.
The intermediate points of your links, if any, are replaced
by the points computed by the JViews link layout. As long as the option
is enabled, the links are automatically adjusted when you move a node
in the dashboard diagram.
If you disable the link layout, the intermediate points
of your links remain fixed unless you explicitly move them.
The Link Layout Enabled option is saved with the dashboard
file. If you open a file in which the option is enabled, the link
layout is automatically activated.
If you do not need to move your symbols at run time,
you can disable the Link Layout Enabled option before saving the file.
For more information about the link layout, see Link Layout (LL) in the Using Graph Layout Algorithms user’s
documentation.
