Property Value
Identifier: org.eclipse.elk.stress
Meta Data Provider: options.StressMetaDataProvider

Description

Minimizes the stress within a layout using stress majorization. Stress exists if the euclidean distance between a pair of nodes doesn’t match their graph theoretic distance, that is, the shortest path between the two nodes. The method allows to specify individual edge lengths.

Category: Force

Layout algorithms that follow physical analogies by simulating a system of attractive and repulsive forces. The first successful method of this kind was proposed by Eades in 1984.
