The KLay project encompasses the main layout algorithms developed as part of the KIELER project. It aims at providing Java implementations of different layout algorithms to the Infrastructure for Meta Layout (KIML).

We currently have the following layout algorithms:

• KLay ForceKLay Force
  Implementation of approaches based on physical models.
• KLay Layered
  Implementation of the layer-based "hierarchical" approach by Sugiyama et al.
• KLay Planar
  Implementation of the planarization-based "topology-shape-metrics" approach. (work in progress)
• KLay Tree
  Implementation of tree-based layout algorithms.
