768 +{{id name="addUnnecessaryBendpoints"/}}Add Unnecessary BendpointsBy default, KLay Layered tries not to add bendpoints to an edge at positions where the edge doesn't change direction since there's no real bend there. Turning this option on forces such bend points. More specifically, a bend point is added for each edge that spans more than one layer at the point where it crosses a layer. If hierarchy layout is turned on, a bend point is also added whenever the edge crosses a hierarchy boundary.

782 +* {{code language="none"}}LAYER_SWEEP{{/code}}
717 717  The layer sweep algorithm iterates multiple times over the layers, trying to find node orderings that minimize the number of crossings. The algorithm uses randomization to increase the odds of finding a good result. To improve its results, consider increasing the //Thoroughness// option, which influences the number of iterations done. The //Randomization// seed also influences results.

719 719  Orders the nodes of each layer by comparing their positions before the layout algorithm was started. The idea is that the relative order of nodes as it was before layout was applied is not changed. This of course requires valid positions for all nodes to have been set on the input graph before calling the layout algorithm. The interactive layer sweep algorithm uses the //Interactive Reference Point// option to determine which reference point of nodes are used to compare positions.

843 -* NETWORK_SIMPLEX
888 +* {{code language="none"}}NETWORK_SIMPLEX{{/code}}
844 844  This algorithm tries to minimize the length of edges. This is the most computationally intensive algorithm. The number of iterations after which it aborts if it hasn't found a result yet can be set with the [[Maximal Iterations>>doc:||anchor="maximalInterations"]] option.
845 -* LONGEST_PATH
890 +* {{code language="none"}}LONGEST_PATH{{/code}}
846 846  A very simple algorithm that distributes nodes along their longest path to a sink node.
847 -* INTERACTIVE
892 +* {{code language="none"}}INTERACTIVE{{/code}}
848 848  Distributes the nodes into layers by comparing their positions before the layout algorithm was started. The idea is that the relative horizontal order of nodes as it was before layout was applied is not changed. This of course requires valid positions for all nodes to have been set on the input graph before calling the layout algorithm. The interactive node layering algorithm uses the //Interactive Reference Point// option to determine which reference point of nodes are used to compare positions.

897 +{{id name="nodePlacement"/}}Node PlacementDecides which algorithm is used to compute the y coordinate of each node. This influences the length of edges, the number of edge bends, and the height of the diagram. We have different algorithms available, with different optimization goals:
852 852  
899 +* {{code language="none"}}BRANDES_KOEPF{{/code}}
900 +Minimizes the number of edge bends at the expense of diagram size: diagrams drawn with this algorithm are usually higher than diagrams drawn with other algorithms.
901 +* {{code language="none"}}LINEAR_SEGMENTS{{/code}}
902 +Computes a balanced placement.
903 +* {{code language="none"}}INTERACTIVE{{/code}}
904 +Tries to keep the preset y coordinates of nodes from the original layout. For dummy nodes, a guess is made to infer their coordinates. Requires the other interactive phase implementations to have run as well.
905 +* {{code language="none"}}SIMPLE{{/code}}
906 +Minimizes the area at the expense of... well, pretty much everything else.
