InheritanceCircularLayouter Inheritance AnimatedBaseLayouter Inheritance BaseLayouter

This is an implementation of the circular layout - all visible nodes are arranged in a circle


Public Properties
 PropertyDefined by
 InheritedanimInProgress : Boolean
Indicator if currently an animation sequence is still in progress.
AnimatedBaseLayouter
 InheritedautoFitEnabled : Boolean
BaseLayouter
 InheriteddisableAnimation : Boolean
If set to true, animation is disabled and direct node location setting occurs (instantaneously).
BaseLayouter
 Inheritedgraph : IGraph
Assign a Graph datastructure object to the layouter, every layouter will need one to work and some may allow to set it in their constructor
BaseLayouter
 InheritedlayoutChanged : Boolean
BaseLayouter
  linkLength : Number
CircularLayouter
  phi : Number
Access the starting angle of the layout
CircularLayouter
 Inheritedvgraph : IVisualGraph
Assign a VisualGraph object to the layouter, every layouter will need one to work, some may also offer to set it in their constructor.
BaseLayouter
Protected Properties
 PropertyDefined by
 InheritedanimationType : int
Access to the type of animation, currently supported type is: ANIM_RADIAL which does interpolation of polar coordinates and ANIM_STRAIGHT which interpolates cartesian coordinates.
AnimatedBaseLayouter
 Inherited_animInProgress : Boolean = false
Indicator if there is currently an animation in progress
AnimatedBaseLayouter
 Inherited_autoFitEnabled : Boolean = false
The indicator if AutoFit should currently be used or not.
BaseLayouter
 InheritedcurrentDrawing : BaseLayoutDrawing
Allow to set the reference to the drawing object from derived classes.
AnimatedBaseLayouter
 Inherited_disableAnimation : Boolean = false
If set to true, animation is disabled and direct node location setting occurs (instantaneously).
BaseLayouter
 Inherited_graph : IGraph = null
All layouters need access to the Graph.
BaseLayouter
 Inherited_layoutChanged : Boolean = false
This keeps track if the layout has changed and can be accessed by any derived layouter.
BaseLayouter
 Inherited_root : INode
The current root node of the layout.
BaseLayouter
 Inherited_stree : IGTree
A spanning tree of the graph, since probably every layout will work on a spanning tree, we keep this one in this base class.
BaseLayouter
 Inherited_vgraph : IVisualGraph = null
All layouters need access to the VisualGraph.
BaseLayouter

Property detail
linkLengthproperty
linkLength:Number  [read-write]

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
    public function get linkLength():Number
    public function set linkLength(value:Number):void
phiproperty 
phi:Number  [read-write]

Access the starting angle of the layout

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Constructor detail
CircularLayouter()constructor
public function CircularLayouter(vg:IVisualGraph = null)

The constructor only initialises some data structures.

Parameters
vg:IVisualGraph (default = null)
Method detail
layoutPass()method
public override function layoutPass():Boolean

This main interface method computes and and executes the new layout.

Returns
Boolean — Currently the return value is not set or used.
resetAll()method 
public override function resetAll():void

This should reset all parameters of the layouter, which might not be needed for all layouters, and it is up to each layouter to do something with it. It would also stop any existing layouting loops/timers.
