yFiles FLEX Client Layout Extension

This file documents the feature enhancements and API changes to previous versions of the yFiles FLEX Client Layout Extension package.

yFiles FLEX Client Layout Extension 1.5 - changes since 1.4

Major Features Added

Layout

  • Added new layout algorithm com.yworks.yfiles.layout.seriesparallel.SeriesParallelLayouter for graphs that are constructed only by series (combining two series parallel graphs by merging the source of one graph with the sink of the other) and parallel (combining two series parallel graphs by merging the sources and the sinks) operations.
  • Added new layout algorithm com.yworks.yfiles.layout.radial.RadialLayouter that places nodes on concentric circles. Edges are routed in a radial fashion using one of several routing strategies.
  • Added multi-parent support to com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.GenericTreeLayouter. A tree node can have multiple parents that are connected to all of its siblings and share the same parents. This might come to use in organizational charts where a team answers to multiple superiors.
  • Added support for terminating (layout) algorithms prematurely. To this end, new class com.yworks.yfiles.algo.AbortHandler provides methods for requesting early but graceful termination (see stop()) and immediate termination (see cancel()).
    The following layout algorithms have at least rudimentary support for immediate termination:

Minor Features Added

Layout

  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter: Added support for incremental group nodes (see com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.IncrementalHintsFactory#createIncrementalGroupHint(Object)). Incremental groups will be placed on a suitable position. The hints of their descendants are interpreted relative to the group node.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter: Improved partition grid support. Nodes can now be mapped to a multi-lane partition cell identifier, i.e., a cell spanning multiple columns and rows. See com.yworks.yfiles.layout.grid.PartitionGrid.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter: Improved edge label placement. Edge labels with preferred placement at source/target are placed closer to the corresponding node. Additionally, com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.SimplexNodePlacer offers the option to place adjacent edge labels in a compact, stacked style. See new property useLabelCompaction.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.SimplexNodePlacer: Added option useNodeCompaction that allows to place adjacent nodes of a layer in a more compact, stacked style.
  • Added vertical alignment option for com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.DefaultNodePlacer and com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.SimpleNodePlacer. In addition to the previous compact child placement, siblings can now be aligned at top, center or bottom for example.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.GenericTreeLayouter: Added support for critical edges in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.DefaultNodePlacer, com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.DendrogramPlacer, com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.SimpleNodePlacer, com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.LayeredNodePlacer and com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.DoubleLinePlacer. Nodes connected to a critical edge will be center aligned which can be used to highlight certain paths in the tree.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.GenericTreeLayouter: Added support for grouped edges in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.DefaultPortAssignment. Grouped edges will share the same port location at local root.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.GenericTreeLayouter: When enabling com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.GenericTreeLayouter#integratedNodeLabeling and/or com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.GenericTreeLayouter#integratedEdgeLabeling, the respective labels will be taken into account during the calculation of group bounds.
  • Added class com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.GroupedNodePlacer that allows com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.GenericTreeLayouter to place siblings into different groups.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.grouping.RecursiveGroupLayouter: Added option interEdgeRouter to specify an edge router to layout edges that cross group node bounds. Thus, it is not necessary to subclass the layouter to change inter-edge routing anymore.
  • Added layout stage com.yworks.yfiles.layout.KeepStrongPortConstraintsStage which ensures that layout algorithms that cannot handle port constraints keep the ports of edges with strong port constraints.
  • Added layout stage com.yworks.yfiles.layout.PortCandidateAssignmentStage which assigns edges to the ports specified by com.yworks.yfiles.layout.PortConstraints or com.yworks.yfiles.layout.PortCandidates after calling the core layout.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.BalloonLayouter: Added support for integrated node and edge labeling. See new properties integratedEdgeLabelingEnabled, integratedNodeLabelingEnabled, and nodeLabelingPolicy.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.BalloonLayouter: Added support for different policies to align nodes having the same root node. See new property childAlignmentPolicy.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.BalloonLayouter: Added support for interleaved child node placement. With interleaved placement, child nodes are placed at different distances to their parent node to achieve a more compact layout. See new property interleavedMode.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: Added a fine-granular configuration option to weigh the crossing costs for each label using the data provider look-up key com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter#LABEL_CROSSING_COST_FACTOR_DPKEY.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: Added option ignoreInnerNodeLabelsEnabled for ignoring node labels that are inside the bounds of their owner node. Node labels that are ignored because of this setting may be crossed by edges. This is especially useful if inner labels of group nodes may be crossed but outer labels of normal nodes may not.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: Added support for customizing the order in which edges are routed. See new property edgeOrderComparator.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.partial.PartialLayouter: Now supports handling of directed and undirected edges; see data provider key DIRECTED_EDGES_DPKEY.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.LabelLayoutTranslator: Added properties writeBackRelativeEdgeLabelLocationEnabled and writeBackRelativeNodeLabelLocationEnabled that allow a core layouter to specify new node or edge label locations relative to the label's owner.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.LabelLayoutKeys: Added key IGNORE_LABEL_KEY that allows specifying which edge and node labels should be ignored during layout calculations.
  • Added new class com.yworks.yfiles.layout.organic.OrganicRemoveOverlapsStage that removes node overlaps while respecting a specified minimal node distance. Unlike the approach implemented in class com.yworks.yfiles.layout.organic.RemoveOverlapsLayoutStage, this approach tries to keep the original layout structure, i.e., it tries to keep the geometric distance between the nodes.

Improvements

Algorithms

  • com.yworks.yfiles.algo.Dfs: Added method cancel() that can be used by subclasses to cancel the search.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.algo.Cycles: Improved method findCycle(Graph, Boolean) to stop the search as soon as the first cycle has been found.

Layout

  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter: Minor performance improvements.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter: Reduced number of group node overlaps that may appear for groups containing elements with tail/head constraints, see com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.SequenceConstraintFactory#addPlaceNodeAtTailConstraint(Object) and com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.SequenceConstraintFactory#addPlaceNodeAtHeadConstraint(Object).
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter: The group transposition feature (see com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.DefaultLayerSequencer#setGroupTranspositionEnabled(Boolean)) can now also be used in incremental layout mode.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.ConstraintIncrementalLayerer: Improved handling of same layer constraints. In previous versions the layerer sometimes ignores same layer constraints even though there is a valid layering.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter: More compact placement of rotated as well as stacked labels.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter: The default sequencing phase has been improved to produce less crossings and run faster.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter: Now prevents overlaps among same layer edges attached to group nodes.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter: During layering, edges connected to group nodes may be redirected and replaced by dummy edges connected to the children of the group node. For these dummy edges com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.LayoutDataProvider#getEdgeData(Edge) now returns an com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.EdgeData of the new type com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.EdgeData#TYPE_REDIRECTED_GROUP_EDGE.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.PCListOptimizer: Improved port candidate assignment calculated by method optimizeAfterSequencing(LayoutGraph, Layers, LayoutDataProvider, ItemFactory).
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.organic.SmartOrganicLayouter: Improved performance.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.organic.SmartOrganicLayouter: Now also considers the group node compactness (see option groupNodeCompactness) if option nodeEdgeOverlapAvoided is enabled.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.organic.SmartOrganicLayouter: Improved node overlap removal (see option nodeOverlapsAllowed). Now, if the scope is set to SCOPE_SUBSET or SCOPE_MAINLY_SUBSET, the number of node overlaps that cannot be removed is reduced.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.organic.SmartOrganicLayouter: Now uses a more sophisticated approach to remove node overlaps if the scope is set to SCOPE_ALL and the quality to time ratio (see qualityTimeRatio) is greater than or equal to 0.7.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.organic.InteractiveOrganicLayouter: Fixed possible performance problem after changing the inertia/stress of some nodes.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.LayeredNodePlacer: Reduced overlaps between edges and node labels for all routing styles.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.GridNodePlacer: Corrected alignment of child nodes and edge routing when there are node labels.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.AbstractRotatableNodePlacer_RootAlignment, com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.DefaultNodePlacer and com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.DendrogramPlacer: Instead of aligning bounding boxes including nodes and their labels, nodes are aligned directly with other nodes. Therefore a layout with node labels gets more compact and the alignment is consistent with that of graphs without node labels.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.DelegatingNodePlacer: Added support for a child comparator for children of local root nodes.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.GenericTreeLayouter now ignores labels with zero width or height in all distance calculations.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.GenericTreeLayouter: com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.NodePlacer implementations now also use the specified spacing as minimum distance between different subtrees.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.partial.PartialLayouter: Reduced number of element overlaps if there are partial group nodes.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.partial.PartialLayouter: Now considers port constraints independent of the specified layout orientation. Note that port constraints are considered only if the core layout algorithm (see coreLayouter)) supports port constraints as well.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.partial.PartialLayouter_StraightLineEdgeRouter: Added support for port constraints.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.ParallelEdgeLayouter: Now always separates parallel edges according to their direction, i.e., edges (v,w) and (w,v) are never placed interleaved.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.labeling.SALabeling and com.yworks.yfiles.layout.labeling.GreedyMISLabeling: Both algorithms now also consider the node/edge overlap penalty specified by a com.yworks.yfiles.layout.LabelCandidate.
  • Improved performance - especially for large graph instances - of generic labeling algorithms com.yworks.yfiles.layout.labeling.GreedyMISLabeling and com.yworks.yfiles.layout.labeling.SALabeling.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.PartitionLayouter: Added nested class com.yworks.yfiles.layout.PartitionLayouter_PolylineInterEdgeRouter that routes inter-edges using class com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.grouping.RecursiveGroupLayouter: Added option replacePortConstraints that replaces port constraints by port candidates and, thus, may improve the layout result.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: improved performance.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: Memory usage has been reduced.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: Added penalty setting for edge length. See com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.PenaltySettings edgeLengthPenalty.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: Now avoids very small octilinear segments.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: Added four predefined optimization strategies. See com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.PenaltySettings#OPTIMIZATION_BALANCED, com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.PenaltySettings#OPTIMIZATION_EDGE_BENDS, com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.PenaltySettings#OPTIMIZATION_EDGE_CROSSINGS, and com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.PenaltySettings#OPTIMIZATION_EDGE_LENGTHS.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.ChannelRouter: Improved performance.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.orthogonal.DirectedOrthogonalLayouter and com.yworks.yfiles.layout.orthogonal.OrthogonalGroupLayouter: Added optimization step that reduces the number of perceived bends. See new property perceivedBendsOptimization.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.orthogonal.OrthogonalLayouter: Improved performance.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.orthogonal.OrthogonalLayouter, com.yworks.yfiles.layout.orthogonal.OrthogonalGroupLayouter and com.yworks.yfiles.layout.orthogonal.DirectedOrthogonalLayouter: Added optimization step that aligns degree one nodes (i.e. nodes with one incident edge) that have the same neighbor. See new property alignDegreeOneNodes.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.orthogonal.OrthogonalGroupLayouter: Improved routing and edge labeling for self-loops of normal (non-group) nodes.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.circular.CircularLayouter: Improved performance.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.LayoutTool: Added new rectangle arrangement method arrangeRectangleMultiRowsWithAlignment(Vector.<Object>, Rectangle2D, Number, Number, Boolean, int, int) suitable for arranging rows of rectangles with highly different sizes.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.ComponentLayouter: Added new component arrangement strategies STYLE_MULTI_ROWS, STYLE_MULTI_ROWS_COMPACT, STYLE_MULTI_ROWS_HEIGHT_CONSTRAINED, STYLE_MULTI_ROWS_HEIGHT_CONSTRAINED_COMPACT, STYLE_MULTI_ROWS_WIDTH_CONSTRAINED, and STYLE_MULTI_ROWS_WIDTH_CONSTRAINED_COMPACT suitable for components with highly different sizes.

  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter: Fixed minimum edge length for orthogonal edges. It is now also taken into consideration for edges that connect to a node's side and for backloop edges (see backloopRouting).
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter: Fixed possible RangeError in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.PCListOptimizer that may appear if there are port constraints which have no matching port candidate or port candidate set entry.

  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: Fixed wrong heuristic bend calculation if grid is used.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: Minimum first and last segment length and minimum node to edge distance were sometimes ignored when used together with octilinear routing style.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: Fixed bug in calculation of edge to edge distance penalties which could reduce the space where edges can be routed causing them to take unnecessary long routes.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: Fixed bug that caused edges that connect a node with an ancestor group node to violate the minimal node to edge distance for the target node.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: Fixed bug that caused edges that connect a node with an ancestor group node to have unnecessary long and bended edge paths when using port constraints.

Incompatible Changes

Behavior Changes

  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: Labels of table nodes are no longer ignored by the router if com.yworks.graph.model.TableLayoutConfigurator is used to prepare the graph for layout calculations.

  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter: Method doLayout(LayoutGraph) now throws an IllegalArgumentException if there is a node with zero width or height in the given graph.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.grouping.FixedGroupLayoutStage: Property orthogonalEdgeRouter now returns an instance of class com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter instead of class com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.OrthogonalEdgeRouter.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.ComponentLayouter: Method setPreferredLayoutSize(Number, Number) now throws an IllegalArgumentException when setting the preferred size to negative values or zero.

yFiles FLEX Client Layout Extension 1.4 - changes since 1.3

Major Features Added

Automatic Layout

  • Class com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.polyline.EdgeRouter is a new edge routing algorithm that produces polyline edge routes.

yFiles FLEX Client Layout Extension 1.3 - changes since 1.2.0.1

General

  • Minimum required yFiles FLEX version is now 1.7.
  • The Flex 3 compatible demos are no longer provided.

Major Features Added

Automatic Layout

  • Class com.yworks.yfiles.layout.multipage.MultiPageLayouter is a new layout algorithm that breaks apart a given graph into a set of smaller graphs so that each layout of a small graph fits into a given width and height.
    The MultiPageLayoutDemo shows how to use class MultiPageLayouter to sub-divide large graphs into smaller bits of navigable information.
  • Class com.yworks.graph.model.TableLayoutConfigurator correctly configures a PartitionGrid information from a given table (com.yworks.graph.model.ITable) configuration. Class com.yworks.graph.model.LayoutExecutor internally delegates to a TableLayoutConfigurator to support ITable.

Minor Features Added

Automatic Layout

  • In com.yworks.yfiles.algo.Cycles the method findAllCycleEdges has been improved to return only edges that belong to at least one simple cycle. Previously, all edges were returned for the undirected case.
  • The method shortestPair has been added to com.yworks.yfiles.algo.ShortestPaths.
  • The orthogonal layout algorithms com.yworks.yfiles.layout.orthogonal.OrthogonalLayouter (OL), com.yworks.yfiles.layout.orthogonal.OrthogonalGroupLayouter (OGL), and com.yworks.yfiles.layout.orthogonal.DirectedOrthogonalLayouter (DOL) now support specifying a minimum first/last segment length. See the descriptions of EDGE_LAYOUT_DESCRIPTOR_DPKEY of the corresponding layouter.
  • To com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.SimplexNodePlacer an algorithm has been added that reduces the number of bends. This option can be set using method setBendReductionEnabled and is enabled by default. Note: using this option increases the runtime of the com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter. If the runtime exceeds the maximal duration, the number of bends is not reduced.
  • Added abstract class com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.AbstractPortConstraintOptimizer, a partial implementation of interface com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.PortConstraintOptimizer, to minimize the effort required to modify the port assignment after the sequencing phase of a hierarchic layout.
  • Extended com.yworks.yfiles.layout.organic.InteractiveOrganicLayouter with a single threaded mode.
    The new InteractiveOrganicLayouterDemo shows how to perform interactive layout updates with class InteractiveOrganicLayouter.
  • In com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.TreeLayouter when using port styles BORDER_CENTER_PORTS and BORDER_DISTRIBUTED_PORTS together with child placement policies CHILD_PLACEMENT_POLICY_LEAVES_STACKED, CHILD_PLACEMENT_POLICY_LEAVES_STACKED_LEFT, CHILD_PLACEMENT_POLICY_LEAVES_STACKED_RIGHT, and CHILD_PLACEMENT_POLICY_LEAVES_STACKED_LEFT_AND_RIGHT, edges are connect to the appropriate sides of their target nodes instead of to the top. Moreover, the order of outgoing edges no longer results in crossings for port style BORDER_DISTRIBUTED_PORTS
  • In com.yworks.yfiles.layout.labeling.AbstractLabelingAlgorithm the DataProvider key LABEL_MODEL_DPKEY has been added that can be used to temporarily specify the model of labels that is used by the labeling algorithm.

Improvements

Automatic Layout

  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.genealogy.FamilyTreeLayouter was improved with respect to the number of edge crossings.
  • In com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.PCListOptimizer the handling of port candidates and enhanced backloop routing support has been improved.
  • Improved the performance of com.yworks.yfiles.layout.PortCandidate which potentially improves the performance of the com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter with rotated graphs with PortCandidates.

  • Fixed methods in com.yworks.yfiles.algo.GraphConnectivity that calculate biconnected components to mark selfloops as not belonging to any biconnected component.
  • Fixed possible NullPointerException in method biconnectedComponentGrouping of com.yworks.yfiles.algo.Groups when calculating biconnected components in a graph containing self-loops.
  • In com.yworks.yfiles.algo.Groups the parameters minGroupCount and maxGroupCount of method edgeBetweennessClustering had no effect.
  • Fixed an error in method findShortestUniformPaths of com.yworks.yfiles.algo.ShortestPaths. In many cases, nodes and edges which did not belong to a shortest path were added to the result nevertheless.
  • Fixed method rotate in com.yworks.yfiles.geom.YVector to no longer return vertically mirrored results.
  • Fixed NullPointerException that happened for the rare case of registering a com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.PartitionGrid but not assigning any nodes to grid cells.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.TopLevelGroupToSwimlaneStage now respects the minimum sizes of top-level groups.
  • Fixed bug in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter that caused that the options "backloop routing" and "automatic edge grouping" were ignored.
  • Fixed bug in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter that caused superfluous crossings for orthogonal edges attached to the same port.
  • Fixed incorrect handling of port candidates in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter in layouts where rotation and a mirror was set.
  • Fixed UnsupportedOperationException that was triggered when using a generic labeling algorithm (i.e. a subclass of com.yworks.yfiles.layout.labeling.AbstractLabelingAlgorithm) together with layout stage com.yworks.yfiles.layout.LabelLayoutDataRefinement
  • Fixed strong port constraints for orthogonally routed inter-edges in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.partial.PartialLayouter .
  • Fixed a bug in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.partial.PartialLayouter that caused a very long runtime if the layout orientation is not equal to ORIENTATION_NONE and option setConsiderNodeAlignment is enabled.
  • Fixed bug in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.EdgeGroupRouterStage that caused broken edge grouping when specifying edge group IDs on both endpoints of an edge.
  • Fixed bug in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.EdgeGroupRouterStage that caused violation of edge grouping constraints as well as port constraints.
  • Fixed bug in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.GroupNodeRouterStage that caused a broken graph structure for graphs containing groups with self-loops.
  • Fixed bug in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.BusPlacer that sometimes caused exceptions due to rounding errors.

yFiles FLEX Client Layout Extension 1.2.0.1 - changes since 1.2

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug which could break routing with the com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.BusRouter.

yFiles FLEX Client Layout Extension 1.2 - changes since 1.1

General

  • Minimum required yFiles FLEX version is now 1.6.

Major Features Added

Automatic Layout

  • New support for rotated labels (e.g. using the com.yworks.graph.model.RotatedSliderEdgeLabelModel or the com.yworks.graph.model.RotatedSideSliderEdgeLabelModel introduced in yFiles FLEX 1.6) in the generic labeling algorithms.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.partial.PartialLayouter: A new layout algorithm for partial layouts. This layout algorithm changes the coordinates for a given set of graph elements (called partial elements). The location or size of the remaining elements (called fixed elements) is not allowed to change. The layout algorithm aims to place the partial elements such that the resulting drawing (including the fixed elements) has a good quality with respect to common graph drawing aesthetics.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.BusRouter: A new orthogonal bus-style edge routing algorithm. This algorithm combines the large number of edges of complete subgraphs in a concise, tree-like structure that consists only of vertical and horizontal line segments. The positions of the nodes in a graph are not altered by this algorithm.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.OrthogonalEdgeRouter: Added support for monotonic path restrictions. Such restrictions specify that edges should be routed monotonically in vertical and/or horizontal direction. The restrictions can be set with property monotonicPathRestriction.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter: Added DataProvider key CRITICAL_EDGE_DPKEY that allows to specify a priority value for edges that are part of critical paths. The layouter tries to vertically align each node pair that is connected by such a "critical" edge (an edge that has a non-zero, positive priority value). Conflicts between different critical edges are resolved in favor of the higher priority.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.SimplexNodePlacer: Added option straightenEdges which allows to specify whether or not a postprocessing step should be applied that tries to remove some bends. Enabling this option may violate some minimum distances specified by the user.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.OrthogonalEdgeRouter: Added support for PortCandidateSets that allow to specify the available port candidates at a node.

Minor Features Added

Automatic Layout

  • New layout stage class com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.PartitionGridRouterStage enables com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.OrthogonalEdgeRouter to properly route edges within a partition grid.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.grouping.RecursiveGroupLayouter: Added DataProvider key GROUP_NODE_LAYOUTER_DPKEY that allows an easier way to specify the layout algorithm used for recursive group nodes. Furthermore, it allows to specify non-recursive group nodes, i.e., group nodes whose contents are laid out using the Layouter instance specified by the nearest predecessor of the group node (with respect to the grouping hierarchy) which is associated with a layouter.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.TreeLayouter: Added new support for child placement policies that can be used to achieve more compact tree layouts: property childPlacementPolicy.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.TreeLayouter: Added new global layering option that ensures that large nodes never span more than their layer: property enforceGlobalLayering.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.OrthogonalEdgeRouter: Added support for considering node labels, property considerNodeLabels.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.circular.CircularLayouter: Added DataProvider key CIRCLE_ID_HOLDER_DPKEY that allows to obtain a mapping between nodes and the corresponding circle IDs.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.OrthogonalEdgeRouter: Added new routing style STYLE_BALANCED which is based on the existing STYLE_PREFERMIDDLE but draws segments between bends of the same direction (U-style turns) the short way.

Graph Model

  • Added the concept of label candidate descriptors which provide additional properties for label candidates and are used by some automatic labeling algorithms.

Improvements

  • New utility class com.yworks.graph.model.LayoutCompat added that facilitates layout specific tasks like creating layer or sequence constraints.
  • Utility methods flashOrientedRectangleToYOrientedRectangle() and yOrientedRectangleToFlashOrientedRectangle() have been added to com.yworks.geom.util.GeomConvert.
  • Class com.yworks.graph.model.LayoutGraphAdapter now automatically provides the node and edge id provider registered on the original IGraph with the keys com.yworks.graph.model.DefaultGraph.MAPPER_KEY_NODE_2_ID and com.yworks.graph.model.DefaultGraph.MAPPER_KEY_NODE_2_ID as DataProvider with the keys com.yworks.yfiles.layout.LayouterKeys.NODE_ID_DPKEY and com.yworks.yfiles.layout.LayouterKeys.EDGE_ID_DPKEY. This allows to use the default ids when configuring layouters, e.g. using layer or sequence constraints.
  • The new utility class com.yworks.graph.model.NodeHierarchy allows comfortable access to and manipulation from the graph hierarchy of a com.yworks.yfiles.layout.LayoutGraph, e.g. when using a custom com.yworks.yfiles.layout.LayoutStage.
  • The methods getInt, getDouble and getBool of com.yworks.graph.model.DataProviderAdapter are now more tolerant with the mapped values and convert the looked up value to the corresponding type instead of simply casting them to the type. This way e.g. getInt for a mapped String value "2" will return 2 instead of 0.
  • The new class com.yworks.graph.model.ConstantMapper is a simple com.yworks.support.IMapper implementation that provides a single value for all keys.
  • In com.yworks.yfiles.layout.router.BusRepresentations the methods to transform from and to hub representation can now copy data which is attached to an original edge using specific data provider keys to the corresponding edge in the transformed graph.

Demos

  • The default font family for most of the demos has been changed to Verdana.
  • The new BusinessProcessDiagramDemo showcases how to customize diverse editing features to create a BPMN editor that is based on an according business model. The pools and swim lanes can be laid out using the com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter in combination with a com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.incremental.PartitionGrid.
  • The new EdgeLabelingDemo shows how to configure different edge label models as well as how to apply the generic edge labeling algorithm.
  • New LayerConstraintsDemo and new SequenceConstraintsDemo show how to apply layer constraints and sequence constraints to the com.yworks.yfiles.layout.hierarchic.IncrementalHierarchicLayouter.
  • The new LayoutModuleDemo allows to quickly test the different settings for the most important layout algorithms.
  • The new PortCandidateDemo shows how to use port candidates to restrict the positions of the ports (connection points). The new LogicGateDemo demonstrates the use of port candidates to keep the locations of the current ports.
  • The new SimpleIncrementalHierarchicLayouterDemo demonstrates how to incrementally layout parts of a graph using incremental hints.
  • The new SwimlaneDemo shows how to configure and visualize swim lanes.
  • The new PartialLayoutDemo shows how to use the com.yworks.yfiles.layout.PartitionLayouter to embed new graph elements into an existing layout. Different scenarios for hierarchic, orthogonal, organic and circular use cases demonstrate suitable settings for these layout styles.
  • The new MixedLayoutDemo shows how to use the recursive group layouter to apply different layouts to the contents of group nodes.
  • The new TemplateStyleDemo shows how to use the template styles with so-called "user tags" in order to create custom data visualizations. In addition, the demo shows how the custom data objects can be serialized with the GraphML I/O framework.
  • The OrgChart demo now uses a bigger graph and the local view mode on startup.
  • The new NavigationDemo shows how to display the neighborhood of a selected node in a complex graph.
  • The new GenericTreeLayouterDemo shows the different NodePlacer implementations for the com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.GenericTreeLayouter. A NodePlacer can be assigned to a node and determines how the node and its sub trees shall be arranged by the layouter.
  • The demo.components.IconButton can now be used with scalable icons like SVG.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug in com.yworks.graph.anim.LayoutMorpherWrapper which caused ports to change their location model if more than one edge connected to them.
  • com.yworks.yfiles.layout.ComponentLayouter: Fixed bug that caused a wrong component assignment if customized component IDs are used.

  • Fixed a bug in com.yworks.yfiles.algo.NetworkFlows that caused wrong calculation of the cut set returned by method calcMaxFlowMinCut().
  • Added missing parent node information when copying grouped graphs with com.yworks.yfiles.layout.LayoutGraphCopyFactory.
  • Fixed a NullPointerException in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.planar.DrawingEmbedder caused by nodes having the same center.
  • Fixed a potential stack overflow in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.orthogonal.OrthogonalLayouter which could occur when useSketchDrawing was enabled.
  • Fixed a bug in com.yworks.yfiles.layout.tree.BusPlacer that sometimes caused exceptions due to rounding errors.
