Type: Fast Track
Tracking Issue: 133716
Short Description
Add a hierarchical layout feature to the graph library.
Target Milestone
NetBeans 6.5
Dependencies
There are currently no dependencies on this addition. These new classes depend only on standard JDK classes.
Change in Current Architecture
Add a single method call, createHierarchicalLayout (GraphScene<N,E> graphScene, boolean animate) to the org.netbeans.api.visual.graph.layout.GraphLayoutFactory class. This call would return a new HierarchicalLayout which is a GraphLayout. The HierarchicalLayout is not part of the API.
Use Cases
User wants to produce a hierarchical layout with a graph.
Summary of Changes
Add a single method call, createHierarchicalLayout (GraphScene<N,E> graphScene, boolean animate) to the org.netbeans.api.visual.graph.layout.GraphLayoutFactory class.
