The IlvGraphLayout class defines a number of generic parameters. These parameters can be used to customize the layout algorithms.

Although the IlvGraphLayout class defines the generic parameters, it does not control how these parameters are used by its subclasses. Each layout algorithm (that is, each subclass of IlvGraphLayout) supports a subset of the generic parameters and determines the way in which it uses the parameters. When you create your own layout algorithm by subclassing IlvGraphLayout, you decide whether to use the parameters and the way in which you are going to use them.

The IlvGraphLayout class defines the following generic parameters:

Generic Parameters Supported by Layout Algorithms provides a summary of the generic parameters supported by each layout algorithm. If you are using one of the subclasses provided with Rogue Wave Views, check the documentation for that subclass to know whether it supports a given parameter and whether it interprets the parameter in a particular way.
