Compound Direct Graph and labeled Edges [message #196115] Fri, 16 September 2005 12:57 Go to next message

Hi,

We use Compound Direct Graph as a mechanism for auto-layout, the final
graph is pretty clean, provided that all the figures are of the same
dimension. There is a glitch we face, as it appears that the edge labels
are not accounted while computing the coordinates for laying out. The
resultant figure contains labels which are attimes closely cluttered and
unreadable. It becomes unselectable for a user to select an edge if there
are edges going to and forth as the second connection figure completely
eclipses the first connection, No bend points are calculated
here,(A=>B,A<=B ; <= dominates => )

Can i have some pointers in these aspects.

Ideally i would like to have a layout which is knowledgable of figure
dimensions and edge labels and edge directions. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

We do not have an algorithm that considers edge label sizes and positions.
If you know of any research in this area or have suggestions please open a
feature request via bugzilla.
