Automatic Graph Layout (Professional version only)
AddFlow provides a set of several graph layout algorithms:

  • Hierarchic layout
  • Orthogonal layout
  • Symmetric layout
  • Series Parallel layout
  • Tree layout
  • Radial Layout

Each of these graph layout algorithms performs a layout on a graph. Performing a layout automatically positions its nodes (also called vertices) and links (also called edges).
