Example
Description
Force-Directed
These layouts mimic
physical forces, with forces
pushing nodes apart, and
links pulling connected
nodes together.
Node-Only
These layouts are used in
conjunction with
force-directed layouts,
particularly with large
graphs
.
Time-Oriented
These layouts are used
where time is an element of
the graph. A time-based
ordering facilitates seeing
the sequence
.
