The ibm_ilog.graphlayout.circular.CircularLayout class supports the following
parameters defined in the
ibm_ilog.graphlayout.GraphLayout
class
(see Base class parameters and features): The following comments describe the particular way in
which these parameters are used by this subclass.
Layout of connected components (CL)
The layout algorithm can use the generic mechanism to
lay out connected components. (For more information about this mechanism,
see Layout of connected components).
Layout region (CL)
This parameter has no effect if the clustering mode is
BY_SUBGRAPHS.
It is not possible to allow the user to control the size
of the layout by specifying a bounding box for the drawing. The layout
algorithm chooses the size to have enough space to avoid overlapping
nodes and clusters.
The layout region setting (either your own or the default
setting) is used only to choose the position of the center of the
drawing. This means that only the center of the layout region is taken
into consideration. (See Layout region.)
Link connection box (CL)
The layout algorithm can use a link connection box interface
to calculate the center of a node. See Link connection box.
It is used when the option to connect links to node centers
is enabled.
It is only used if the link style is straight line. It
is also used for self-links and multilinks, depending on the self-link
or multilink mode.
Preserve fixed links (CL)
The layout algorithm does not reshape the links that
are specified as fixed. (See Preserve fixed links.)
Preserve fixed nodes (CL)
The layout algorithm does not move the nodes that are
specified as fixed. (See Preserve fixed nodes.)
