Eclipse Community Forums'Arrange All' Layout Algorithm
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/159357/503345/#msg_503345
Loving the work on UML2Tools, it's really great.
To give you a little bit of background, I'm currently writing a project for ColdFusion that generates the .uml file that contains the domain data, so it is easy to create Class Diagrams and the like.
When generating a new Class Diagram from this domain data, the layout of each of the Class's basically just does a long left->right layout, with no real accommodation of screen real estate. This means, I can end up spending some time hand laying out all my Classes and Primitives, and the like.
Obviously this is still pre-1.0 software, so I expect little things to go wrong, but I was wondering if this was something that was going to end up being looked at / adjusted in the future? It would save me a lot of time if the auto-arrangement had a more 'intelligent'(? not even sure if that is the right word) layout engine.
Anyway, keep up the great work, I just wanted to run it past you all.]]>Mark Mandel2009-12-12T01:07:10-00:00Re: 'Arrange All' Layout Algorithm

It can still get quite muddled when showing lots of classes (especially when packages are displayed as frames), but all-together, it's not too bad.]]>Mark Mandel2009-12-13T01:57:12-00:00
