	37	+KIML offers interfaces to connect layout algorithms to diagram editors and viewers. The focus is on flexible configurability, which is a crucial issue for creating good layouts for different graphical languages and in different circumstances.

37	37	=== Terminology ===
38	38
	41	+//**Layout Graph**//
	42	+
	43	+* Internal representation of the graph structure of the current diagram, built on the [[KGraph>>doc:KGraph Meta Model]] model.
	44	+
	45	+**//Layout Algorithm//**
	46	+
	47	+* An algorithm that takes a layout graph as input and computes positions for all elements of the graph.
	48	+
	49	+**//Layout Provider//**
	50	+
	51	+* A component that provides one or more layout algorithms to KIML.
	52	+
	53	+**//Layout Option//**
	54	+
	55	+* A customization point for layout algorithms, with a specific data type and optionally a default value.
	56	+
	57	+**//Layout Configurator//**
	58	+
	59	+* A component that is responsible for retrieving specific layout option values for each model element.
	60	+
	61	+**//Layout Data//**
	62	+
	63	+* Concrete layout data (position and size) and abstract layout data (layout options) attached to elements of the layout graph using the [[KLayoutData>>doc:KLayoutData Meta Model]] model.
	64	+
	65	+**//Layout Type//**
	66	+
	67	+* Classification of layout algorithms depending on their basic approach (e.g. layered, force, etc.).
	68	+
	69	+**//Diagram Type//**
	70	+
	71	+* Classification of graphical diagrams used to set default layout option values for all diagrams of a specific type (e.g. state machines, data flow diagrams, etc.).
	72	+
	73	+**//Diagram Layout Manager//**
	74	+
	75	+* The central interface for connecting diagram editors with layout algorithms.

41	41	The main user interface element of KIML is the command to layout the current diagram. This command is availabe in the main KIELER menu, in the toolbar ([[image:attach:kieler-arrange.gif]]), or using the Ctrl+R L shortcut. Additionally, an entry in the context menu allows to layout only a selected part of the diagram.
