Question

Hi,

thank you for your quick answer!

How can I reserve a particular area in which nothing may be located?

Create a dummy node the size of the reserved area, run a layout algorithm, use "Tools" -> "Geometric Transformations" to move the graph in such a way that the dummy node lies at the desired location (if necessary), and finally remove the dummy node once again.

I tried a lot, but that doesn't work for me. Always when i do a new layout algorythm, my doummy nodes also are new placed. Could you explain that point again?

How can assign some boxes fixed positions? For example, I would have entered the starting top left and bottom right of a target.

You didn't answer this question. Any ideas?

Thank you again!

Next time, please stick to your orginal thread for clarifications.

 

The dummy node approach for a reserved area assumes that you have exactly one reserved area. There is no way to reserve more than one such area.

 

How can assign some boxes fixed positions? For example, I would have entered the starting top left and bottom right of a target.

I am afraid I do not understand that question.
What are boxes? Do you mean nodes? If so, use "Layout" -> "Selection (Partial)".
What do you mean by entering "the starting top left and bottom right"?
