Tree Layout with Node Placers

This demo shows how to use node placers with the Tree Layout. A node placer is responsible for the arrangement of a local root node and all of its subtrees.

yFiles comes with predefined node placers that provide a variety of subtree arrangement schemes. This example uses three of them:

Node 1 uses a LayeredNodePlacer, that places child nodes with the same depth in the tree in the same horizontal layer.
Node 2 uses a LeftRightNodePlacer, that places child nodes left and right of a single vertical bus.
Node 6 uses a DoubleLineNodePlacer, that places child nodes in two horizontal lines.

Code Snippet

You can copy the code snippet to configure the layout from GitHub.

Demos

See the Tree Layout Demo for mode extensive examples of node placers.
