Crainiate Community

I'm trying to achieve the following layout:

 Is it possible to modify the existing hierarchy layout or write this in such a way to get the result shown above?  I want the algorithm to look at where the "ports" are and basically sort it depending on how they are aligned.  (i.e.: the divisons always are connected by a left-to-right connector, therefore I want to make sure all divisions line up to the right the main node, while subsidiaries are connected by a top-down approach)

Again, the algorithm would align the nodes "under" or "to the right of" the parent node based on the port orientation.

 Thanks, -jv

I was about to ask a similar question, but maybe it's better to join this topic.

I have my own flowchart layout algorithm in our project, but it is hardcoded in the class inheriting the Crainiate component and because of that it's not flexible. I've seen in the docs that there is a possibility to implement one's own algorithm using provided mechanisms (in the Crainiate.ERM4.Layouts namespace), but there is no example available and not everything is clear for me.
For now I'm working on a flowchart component, but in the near future I will be also implementing an OrgChart component with the needs very similar to the ones from the post above (provided algorithm is not sufficient), so I will have to write such an algorithm (with some additional advanced features). |
I would like to rebuild my current flowchart algorithm to use the proper mechanisms from Crainiate.ERM4.Layouts before I'll go to the OrgChart part, but without any example it may take too long for me to familiarize with them.
Could you help us and provide a simple example ?

I azm waiting for a response from our 3rd party layout vendors and I will update you both as soon as I know more - thank you for your patience.

Any news on this yet?

The layouts component is closed to us apart from the interface which we already provided as a public wrapper.

My suggestion would be to modify the Graph (if possible) once the layout has been performed.

Im sorry we cannot help further in this regard.
