Lassalle layout components enable to extend the functionality of AddFlow by allowing you to automatically display graphs or flow charts following aesthetic rules.

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.

LayoutFlow currently includes HFlow that allows performing a hierarchical layout, SFlow that performs a symmetric layout on a grap, TFlow that allows performing a tree layout on a graph and OFlow to perform an orthogonal layout on a graph.
