Layout algorithms can declare which diagram types they support well, and give a priority value for each supported type.

Usual values for such priorities are between 1 and 10, where the highest value should only be assigned if the algorithm is especially designed for diagrams of the respective type, or if it has proven to be very adequate for them. Lower values should be given if the algorithm is able to draw the diagrams correctly, but with lower quality of the resulting layout.

897 -{{id name="edgeRouting"/}}Edge RoutingThis option influences the way in which edges are routed between the nodes they connect. The following settings are available:
898 -
899 -* POLYLINE
900 -Edges consist of one or more segments defined by a list of bend points.
901 -* ORTHOGONAL
902 -Edges are routed orthogonally, meaning that each segment of an edge runs either horizontally or vertically.
903 -* SPLINES
904 -Edges are routed as splines (smooth curves).
905 -* UNDEFINED
906 -No particular edge routing style is selected. Usually this value points to the default setting of the selected layout algorithm.
907 -
908 -[[image:attach:edge_routing.png]]
909 -
910 -When used as layout option, the edge routing is set for a whole graph or subgraph, i.e. on a parent node. However, the property is additionally used for the output of the layout algorithm in order to mark individual edges. If the edge routing assigned to an edge is anything other than SPLINES, the bend points of that edge are interpreted with their normal meaning, i.e. straight lines are drawn between consecutive bend points. If, on the other hand, a layout algorithm marks an edge with the value SPLINES, the bend points have to be interpreted as control points for a series of cubic splines following this procedure:
911 -
912 -1. Start at the source point of the edge.
913 -1. As long as there are at least three bend points left:
914 -11. Draw a cubic spline segment to the third bend point with the other two bend points as control points.
915 -11. Use the third bend point as start point for the next segment.
916 -11. Consume the three bend points and proceed to the next segment.
917 -1. Check the number of remaining bend points:
918 -11. Two bend points – draw a cubic spline segment to the target point of the edge.
919 -11. One bend point – draw a quadratic spline segment to the target point of the edge.
920 -11. No bend point – draw a straight line to the target point of the edge.

923 923  
924 -=== ===
765 +* **Layout Hierarchy** ({{code language="none"}}de.cau.cs.kieler.layoutHierarchy{{/code}}) - If this option is supported and active, the layout algorithm is requested to process the full hierarchy contained in the input node. This means that instead of executing another algorithm on each hierarchy level, all levels are arranged in a single algorithm execution.
766 +* **Hypernode** ({{code language="none"}}de.cau.cs.kieler.hypernode{{/code}}) - A node that is marked as hypernode has a special role in the graph structure, since all its incident edges are treated as parts of the same [[hyperedge>>url:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergraph||shape="rect"]]. Example: relation vertices in [[Ptolemy>>url:http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/||shape="rect"]] models.
767 +* **Comment Box** ({{code language="none"}}de.cau.cs.kieler.commentBox{{/code}}) - A node that is marked as comment box is treated as a label that needs to be placed somewhere. This is different to normal node labels, which are usually regarded as fixed.
768 +* **No Layout** ({{code language="none"}}de.cau.cs.kieler.noLayout{{/code}}) - Elements that are marked with this option are excluded from layout. This is used to identify diagram objects that should not be regarded as graph elements.

If size constraints include {{code language="none"}}PORTS{{/code}}, the additional port space, together with the port spacing and the size of ports, determines a lower bound on the node size.
776 +This option influences the way in which edges are routed between the nodes they connect. The following settings are available:
933 933  
934 -=== ===
778 +* POLYLINE
779 +Edges consist of one or more segments defined by a list of bend points.
780 +* ORTHOGONAL
781 +Edges are routed orthogonally, meaning that each segment of an edge runs either horizontally or vertically, but never at an angle.
782 +* SPLINE
783 +Edges are routed as splines (smooth curves). (% style="color: rgb(153,51,0);" %)**TODO:** Add more documentation on how the returned bend points are to be interpreted.
784 +* UNDEFINED
785 +No particular edge routing style is selected. The result produced by the layout algorithm may be undefined.
935 935  
936 -{{id name="alignment"/}}AlignmentDetermines the alignment of a node in relation to other nodes of the same row or column. For layer-based algorithms, for instance, this option controls how a node is positioned inside its assigned layer.
787 +(% style="color: rgb(153,51,0);" %)**TODO:** Add an image illustrating the different routing styles.
937 937  
938 -=== ===
789 +=== Port Offset ===
939 939  
940 -{{id name="aspectRatio"/}}Aspect RatioThe aspect ratio of a drawing is the ratio of its total width to its total height. This option gives some control over that ratio, although in most cases it is only interpreted as a hint on how to arrange multiple connected components, hence the actual aspect ratio will probably be different from what has been specified with the option.
791 +{{id name="portOffset"/}}
941 941  
942 -=== ===
793 +The port offset is used to specify how much space a layout algorithm should leave between a port and the border of its node. This is usually zero, but doesn't have to be. If the offset is not defined for a given port, a layout algorithm can try to infer the offset from the port's coordinates and its node's size in the input graph. This of course requires both properties to be set to sensible values.
943 943  
944 -{{id name="commentBox"/}}Comment BoxA node that is marked as comment box is treated as a label that needs to be placed somewhere. In contrast to normal node labels (modeled with a KLabel instance), comment boxes may have connections to other nodes, as in the following example.

968 -* {{code language="none"}}UNDEFINED{{/code}}
969 -Defaults to {{code language="none"}}JUSTIFIED{{/code}}.
970 -* {{code language="none"}}JUSTIFIED{{/code}}
971 -Distributes the ports evenly over the whole usable space (for usable space, see [[additional port space>>doc:||anchor="addPortSpace"]]).
972 -* {{code language="none"}}BEGIN{{/code}}
973 -Places the ports at top-/leftmost position with [[port spacing>>doc:||anchor="portSpacing"]] between them.
974 -* {{code language="none"}}CENTER{{/code}}
975 -Places the ports centered in the usable space with port spacing between them.
976 -* {{code language="none"}}END{{/code}}
977 -Places the ports at bottom-/rightmost position with port spacing between them.

979 -Port alignment can also be set as specialized options {{code language="none"}}portAlignment.{north|south|east|west{{/code}}}. These options overwrite the general policy for the respective side. Setting one of these to {{code language="none"}}UNDEFINED{{/code}} defaults it to the general port alignment.

983 -{{id name="portAnchor"/}}Port Anchor OffsetSince ports have a size, we need a concrete point inside the port that edges should start or end in. In KLay Layered, this is referred to as the //port anchor//. By default, the center of each port is used as its port anchor, but this behavior can be overridden by setting an explicit port anchor.
984 -
985 -In the following example, the port anchor of the left port was moved upwards, while the port anchor of the second port was moved downwards:

991 -{{id name="portOffset"/}}Port OffsetThe port offset is used to specify how much space a layout algorithm should leave between a port and the border of its node. This is usually zero, but doesn't have to be. If the offset is not defined for a given port, a layout algorithm can try to infer the offset from the port's coordinates and its node's size in the input graph. This of course requires both properties to be set to sensible values.

993 993  Set this property if one of the following cases applies:
994 994  
995 995  * The port constraints on a node are set to FREE, FIXED_SIDES or FIXED_ORDER.
996 996  * The port constraints on a node are set to FIXED_RATIO or FIXED_POS, and the size of the node is not fixed. (Note that this is especially true for ports of compound nodes.)

1000 -{{id name="portSpacing"/}}Port SpacingThe port spacing determines how much space KLay Layered should leave between the ports of each side. This option is only relevant if the node size depends on the ports, that is, if the size constraints include {{code language="none"}}SizeConstraint.PORTS{{/code}}.
