Random Layout
In this section, you will learn about the
Random Layout algorithm from the Rogue Wave® Views Graph Layout package (class
IlvRandomLayout from the library
ilvrandom).
Sample
Here is a sample drawing produced with the Random Layout:
Graph Drawing Produced with the Random Layout
What Types of Graphs?
Any type of graph:
Connected and
disconnected Planar and
nonplanar graphs
Features
Random placement of the nodes of a grapher inside a given region.
Limitations
The algorithm computes random coordinates for the upper-left corner of the graphic objects representing the nodes. In some cases, this may 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 smaller than the width and height of the layout region. The difference is the maximum width and the maximum height of the nodes, respectively. In some cases, this may not be appropriate.
