Documentation
Use
The layout definition allows you to divide objects (nodes, links, and clusters) into fields.
This subdivision functions as follows:
The layout is composed of interconnected horizontal and vertical strips. These strips determine the final appearance of the layout.
The horizontal strip is a rectangular area containing any number of columns. These columns can contain any number of lines.
The vertical strip is a rectangular area containing any number of lines, which can contain any number of columns. There is no limit to the number of nesting levels. You can also position columns and lines outside the rectangle.
The rectangle can contain any number of strips. The longest horizontal strip determines the width of the rectangle, and the longest vertical strip the height of the rectangle.
The layout definition consists of the following elements:
$name - field ID
// - vertical subdivision
/ - vertical subdivision without separator line
-- - horizontal subdivision
- - horizontal subdivision without separator line
[] - rectangle frame
() - for generating strips, linked components
The following rules apply:
- Square brackets determine the frame of the rectangle and can occur both singly and doubly.
- The layout definition is processed from left to right.
- Linked components are enclosed in brackets.
- Components can be separated by blanks as required.
- There are no separator lines outside the rectangle.
- Only lowercase letters may be used in field names.
- Field names must be unique.
Examples
- [$a//$b//$c]
- [$a/$b/$c]
- [[$a-(($b--$c)//$d)]]
- $a[[$b--$c]]$e
- $a[$b[$c]$d]$e.
