Creating a graph with containers of SubGraphs [message #1801923]

I need to create a graph which contains many SubGraphs, each has it's own node's and edges.
The SubGraphs should be treated as nodes as they have dependencies as well.
It should look similar to the example layout here: https://www.eclipse.org/elk/
However, I couldn't find anywhere in the docs how to implement it.
I'm using elkjs-4.1.0

Ohad,

as you can see in our graph model specification, nodes can themselves contain further nodes. It's basically a matter of building your graphs and putting them into their own nodes again. See here for an extremely simple example JSON structure.

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks Christoph! Exactly what I needed.

A follow-up question:
I'm trying to properly visualize the whole graph but since I have subgraphs I need to know how many nodes I have in each layer so that I know what height and width to give each containing subgraph.

Is there a way I can see how many nodes there are in each layer in a subgraph?

Ohad,

you shouldn't have to set the size of nodes that contain further nodes beforehand, that's what the layout algorithm will figure out automatically. After the layout, you can extract the computed node size from the result and apply it to whatever you use to visualize your nodes.

Cheers,
Chris
