I am very new to GEF/ZEST. For one of my use case i wanted to display models in graphical tree representation.

Below zest algorithms i have tried.

TreeLayoutAlgorithm is showing the diagram as below
index.php/fa/31132/0/

HorizantalTreeLayoutAlgorithm is showing the diagram as below
index.php/fa/31131/0/

But what i wanted is Right sided Tree as shown below. Can anyone hint me how to proceed here?
index.php/fa/31133/0/

I think that kind of layout is not covered by one of the existing layout algorithms. You would have to implement a custom one.

Hi Syamkumar,

in addition to Alexander proposal, you could utilise Graphviz for computing the layout (using hidden nodes, invisible edges, ranking, and subgraphs to influence the Graphviz default). You can take a look at the "DotLayoutExample" for how to delegate to Graphviz for laying out.

Apart from that, you could delegate to another layout library, e.g. Eclipse Layout Kernel (ELK), for computing the layout. There might already be an algorithm available for such a tree layout.
