layout

Experimental

Current version and API is in experimental stage. Property names may change.

Installation

The graph layouting can be used as a command-line tool and as a library.

To install the command-line tool:

go get -u github.com/loov/layout/cmd/glay

To install the package:

go get -u github.com/loov/layout

Usage

Minimal usage:

package main

import (
    "os"

    "github.com/loov/layout"
    "github.com/loov/layout/format/svg"
)

func main() {
    graph := layout.NewDigraph()
    graph.Edge("A", "B")
    graph.Edge("A", "C")
    graph.Edge("B", "D")
    graph.Edge("C", "D")

    layout.Hierarchical(graph)

    svg.Write(os.Stdout, graph)
}

See other examples in examples folder.

Quality

Currently the layout.Hierarchy algorithm output is significantly worse than graphviz. It is recommended to use graphviz dot, if possible.
