Package ilog.views.graphlayout.link.shortlink Description

The Short Link Layout algorithm reshapes the links of a graph without moving the nodes. The algorithm tries to avoid crossings and overlaps of links and nodes by a penalty mechanism. It tests only a limited number of link shapes. Long links can cause overlaps with nodes or other links.

This algorithm is suitable, if overlaps are no fatal layout errors, or if the links are short. Otherwise the Long Link Layout algorithm may be more suitable.

By default, the algorithm computes orthogonal links; that is, links composed of alternating horizontal and vertical segments. Optionally, direct links can be computed. Both link styles can be mixed in the same drawing.

Sample drawing produced by the Short Link Layout:
