Bus Layout
In this section, you will learn about the
Bus Layout algorithm from the Rogue Wave Views Graph Layout package (class
IlvBusLayout from the library
ilvbus).
Sample
Here is a sample drawing produced with the Bus Layout:

What Types of Graphs?
![*](bullet.gif)
Bus network topologies (a set of nodes connected to a bus object)
Application Domains
Application domains of the Bus Layout include:
![*](bullet.gif)
Telecom and networking (LAN diagrams)
![*](bullet.gif)
Electrical engineering (circuit block diagrams)
![*](bullet.gif)
Industrial engineering (equipment/resource control charts)
Features
![*](bullet.gif)
Displays bus topologies.
![*](bullet.gif)
Takes into account the size of the nodes so that no overlapping occurs.
![*](bullet.gif)
Provides several ordering options. The nodes can be arranged on the bus by height, in a user-defined order, or in an arbitrary order.
![*](bullet.gif)
Allows easy customization of the dimensional parameters.
