Layout nodes in container in tree programmatically [message #1724316] Mon, 22 February 2016 23:58 Go to next message

Hi all,
+ I'm new in Sirius. I want to arrange elements in diagram in tree layout, programmatically.
In my sample project, I have some nodes. Connection between nodes from bordered node to other border node. Please, see the figure 1 index.php/fa/25072/0/.
When User click sample button e.g arrange button, nodes will be arranged in tree layout as figure 2 index.php/fa/25073/0/.

+ I've tried some methods but I still stuck to resolve my problem
Method 1:
Using Ordered Tree Layout by Sirius, add Ordered Tree Layout to VSM file.
In my understand, these nodes in diagram cannot be layout in tree layout because of connection between nodes is from bordered node to bordered node. Ordered Tree Layout algorithm find children to layout based on edge connection between nodes.
Other disadvantage, I want to arrange nodes, programmatically, this method may not suitable.

Method 2:
Using extension layout provider. Based on tutorial from below link, by using GridLayoutProvider, all nodes are arranged in 1 column only. At least, I want to arrange nodes in multiple rows and columns

+ As my understand, to make new algorithm to arrange nodes is very difficult task. Do you have any suggestion to resolve my problem?
Thank you very much

Hi,

Sirius provides basic layout algorithms but for more specific needs you
need to provide your own algorithm or delegate the layout to a
third-party algorithm tool.
You can take a look on
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/modeling.elk. I don't know in
detail this project but I think it could help you: "The Eclipse Layout
Kernel (ELK) provides such layout algorithms, as well as an
infrastructure to connect them to diagram editors."

Hi Florian,

Thank you for your quick reply.
Firstly, I cannot access your link for ELK project.
As recommendation from some expert member, making own layout algorithm is very difficult task. So I wonder about this approach.
If there is no other approachs then I will try to make own algorithm. Thank you for your advice.

Best regards,
Nhan
