Über LayoutFlow for .NET

Eine Reihe von Graphen-Zeichnungsalgorithmen.

LayoutFlow for .NET is a collection of 5 layout components to enable you to automatically display graphs or flow charts following some aesthetic rules. Includes: HFlow (hierarchical), SFlow (symmetric), SPFlow (Series Parallel), TFlow (tree) and OFlow (orthogonal). These controls are AddFlow extensions. Each of these controls allows performing a graph layout automatically, positioning its vertices (also called nodes) and edges (also called links) on a form containing an AddFlow control.

LayoutFlow for .NET is a set of five graph layout .NET components:

  • HFlow (hierarchical layout)
  • OFlow (orthogonal layout)
  • SFlow (symmetric force directed layout)
  • TFlow (tree or radial layout)
  • SPFlow (series parallel),

A demonstration of each of these products is available in the DemoLayout sample provided with AddFlow for .NET.

HFlow, OFlow, SFlow, SPFlow and TFlow are AddFlow extensions and you cannot use them without AddFlow. Typically, you can first create your nodes and links inside AddFlow, using the AddFlow API, giving each node a random or a (0,0) position. Then you call the layout method of the graph layout control of your choice. This method will position the nodes and the links in a reasonable manner in the AddFlow control, following some aesthetic rules that depend on the chosen control (hierarchical with HFlow, symmetric with SFlow, orthogonal with OFlow...)

Only the logical vertices and edges of the AddFlow control are involved in this layout. This will allow you to apply the layout only to important vertices. For instance, you will be able to exclude a node just used to display a label by setting its Logical property to false.
