LayoutFlow

Description

Display graphs or flow charts in a reasonable manner
LayoutFlow is a set of four graph autolayout controls that perform autolayout graph drawing and therefore automatically auto-arrange the graph. A ActiveX version and a .NET version of each layout component is available.

• HFlow HFlow allows performing a hierarchical layout on a graph. Vertices are arranged in horizontal layers. The orders of the vertices on the layers are chosen so that the number of crossings is kept as small as possible.

• SFlow SFlow allows performing a symmetric layout on a graph. The symmetric layout produces a high degree of symmetry and is particularly useful for undirected graphs, where the directions of the edge are not important.

• TFlow TFlow allows performing a tree layout on a graph. The tree layout applies only to a specific subset of graphs: rooted trees. In such a graph, no vertice may have more than one parent.

• OFlow OFlow allows performing an orthogonal layout on a graph.

LayoutFlow – Features

The primary purpose of LayoutFlow is to offer a way to automatically display graphs or flow charts in a reasonable manner, following some aesthetic rules. Available is a ActiveX version and a .NET version of 4 Graph layout components.
