A custom layout algorithm for SBGN process graphs created with the SBGN section of the palette.
SBGN stands for Systems Biology Graphical Notation (see https://sbgn.github.io/sbgn) and is an effort to provide a standardized graphical notation for molecular and system-biology applications that describe biological pathways/networks.
Orientation
Determines the main layout orientation. The algorithm tries to arrange nodes in such a way that all edges point in the main layout direction.
- None
- There is no main layout orientation. The layout style is similar to that of the Classic Orthogonal layout.
- Top to Bottom
- The main layout orientation will be from top to bottom and is applied to all Production and Consumption edges. The layout style is similar to that of the Hierarchic layout.
- Bottom to Top
- The main layout orientation will be from bottom to top and is applied to all Production and Consumption edges. The layout style is similar to that of the Hierarchic layout.
- Left to Right
- The main layout orientation will be from left to right and is applied to all Production and Consumption edges. The layout style is similar to that of the Hierarchic layout.
- Right to Left
- The main layout orientation will be from right to left and is applied to all Production and Consumption edges. The layout style is similar to that of the Hierarchic layout.
Minimum Node Distance
Determines the minimal distance between nodes.
Minimum First Segment Length
Determines the minimal length of the first edge segment.
Minimum Last Segment Length
Determines the minimal length of the last edge segment.
Fix Content of Complexes
If enabled, the content of Complexes is kept as it is assumed that the user already arranged its elements manually. Note that this option is only considered if a Complex consists only of disconnected nodes.
