Best practice for resizing nodes with very much in/outgoing edges [message #1752692]

Hello,

i need to improve the layouting (especially resizing) of nodes which have multiple in/outgoing edges (confusing edge chunk). I've attached an example picture with the current layouting result (Before) and i need similar solution like the "After" figure.

index.php/fa/28227/0/

My idea was to change statically the size of these nodes before layouting with calculating edge amount and padding of these edges/ edge to edge spacing.

But this would be a preprocessing, so my question is there a better approach to achieve this? Thank you in advance.

Best regards
M.Emin

The option CoreOptions.NODE_SIZE_CONSTRAINTS controls how the node width and height are modified. If you include PORTS in that EnumSet, the number of edges incident to a node should affect the node size.
