Interface ISchematicAlgoForceDirected

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

ISchematicAlgoForceDirectedProxy, SchematicAlgoForceDirected

public interface ISchematicAlgoForceDirected
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that control the Force Directed schematic algorithm.

Description

The Force Directed algorithm uses a physical analogy to draw graphs by considering a graph as a force system where it tries to locally minimize the energy. It searches for an equilibrium state of the force system; that is a position for each node, such that the total forces on every node is zero. If a selected set has been defined in the active schematic diagram, the algorithm only applies to the selected schematic elements.

int	getNumberOfIterations() Number of Force Directed schematic algorithm iterations executed before the final result is shown.
