Layout Diagram

[Christian Heinz]

Hi everyone,

i'm working with EA and C# for creating an Add In in a few weeks, after i've got some know-how about that.
I created a diagram an elements, and now i want to order them like a circle.
Is there a possibility to get the control over this functionality by c# code?

Regards

AFAIK, You can't access the new layout functionality from AI.  You're left with figuring out the layout yourself and positioning stuff directly with code.

About 5 years ago, we experimented with getting some open source graph traversal programs to layout some specialised diagrams and it seemed to work OK, but there was a lot of overhead.

It would be much easier if we could get access to the new layout tools directly...  "Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink - Say no more!"¹
