Hierarchical Orientation when importing from Excel file

Question

Hello,

I'm creating a hierarchical graph from an excel file (using the Adjusting Matrix method), but the graph is by default top-down, whereas I need a bottom-up diagram.

I tried changing the orientation in Layout-->Hierarchical but it didn't work.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The hierarchical layout algorithm doesn't care how the graph was created, it simply considers the edge directions. Since the orientation setting of the hierarchical layout definitely has the desired effect, I suppose that the directions of the edges are not as expected. Can you please upload an image or the graphml file of your graph?
