Grid Layout will order the nodes according to the parameters, and then place the nodes on the grids.

Usage

As the demo below, you can deploy it in layout while instantiating Graph. it can also be used for Subgraph Layout. By tuning the parameters, you can adjust the iteration number, compact degree, layout buy cluster, and so on. By tuning the parameters, you can adjust the ordering method, rows, cols, prevent node overlappings, and so on.

• Example 1 : Basic Grid Layout, the nodes are ordered according to the data.
• Example 2 : Order the nodes according to the property cluster.

begin

Type: Array
Example: [ 0, 0 ]
Default: [ 0, 0 ]
Required: false
Description: The place where the grid begin (left top)

preventOverlap

Type: Boolean
Default: false
Required: false
Explanation: Prevent node overlappings. Only when the nodeSize is assigned, the collide detection will take effect

nodeSize

Type: Number
Default: 30
Required: false
Explanation: The size of the nodes(diameter). For collide detection to prevent node overlappings

preventOverlapPadding

Type: Number
Default: 10
Required: false
Explanation: The min distance between nodes when preventOverlap is true

condense

Type: Boolean
Default: false
Required: false
Explanation: Uses all available space on false, uses minimal space on true

rows

Type: Number
Default: undefined
Required: false
Explanation: Force num of rows in the grid

cols

Type: Number
Default: undefined
Required: false
Explanation: Force num of columns in the grid

sortBy

Type: String
Default: undefined
Required: false
Explanation: Order the nodes according to this parameter. It is the property's name of node. The node with higher value will be placed to the center. If it is undefined, the algorithm will order the nodes by their degree.
