SugiyamaLayout

Class

The Sugiyama or layered layout implementation.

This algorithm has the following features;

nodes are placed on layers
crossings minimization: edge crossings are minimized
minimum separation: on each layer, neighboring nodes are separated by at least a certain distance
balance: parents are placed at the barycenter of their children
proximity: neighboring nodes in the immediately upper layer are placed nearby

For additional material on this algorithm, see:

"Graph drawing and applications" by Kozo Sugiyama, ISBN 981-02-4879-2. Page 29 to 35 gives a description of the algorithm.
