public class RadialTreeLayout
extends TreeLayout

TreeLayout instance that computes a radial layout, laying out subsequent depth levels of a tree on circles of progressively increasing radius.

The algorithm used is that of Ka-Ping Yee, Danyel Fisher, Rachna Dhamija, and Marti Hearst in their research paper Animated Exploration of Dynamic Graphs with Radial Layout, InfoVis 2001. This algorithm computes a radial layout which factors in possible variation in sizes, and maintains both orientation and ordering constraints to facilitate smooth and understandable transitions between layout configurations.

Constructor Detail

RadialTreeLayout

public RadialTreeLayout(java.lang.String group)

Creates a new RadialTreeLayout. Automatic scaling of the radius values to fit the layout bounds is enabled by default.

Parameters:

group - the data group to process. This should resolve to either a Graph or Tree instance.

RadialTreeLayout

public RadialTreeLayout(java.lang.String group,
                        int radius)

Creates a new RadialTreeLayout using the specified radius increment between levels of the layout. Automatic scaling of the radius values is disabled by default.

Parameters:

group - the data group to process. This should resolve to either a Graph or Tree instance.

radius - the radius increment to use between subsequent rings in the layout.

Method Detail

getRadiusIncrement

public double getRadiusIncrement()

Set the radius increment to use between concentric circles. Note that this value is used only if auto-scaling is disabled.

Returns:

the radius increment between subsequent rings of the layout when auto-scaling is disabled

setRadiusIncrement

public void setRadiusIncrement(double inc)

Set the radius increment to use between concentric circles. Note that this value is used only if auto-scaling is disabled.

Parameters:

inc - the radius increment between subsequent rings of the layout

See Also:

setAutoScale(boolean)

getAutoScale

public boolean getAutoScale()

Indicates if the layout automatically scales to fit the layout bounds.

Returns:

true if auto-scaling is enabled, false otherwise

setAutoScale

public void setAutoScale(boolean s)

Set whether or not the layout should automatically scale itself to fit the layout bounds.

Parameters:

s - true to automatically scale to fit display, false otherwise

setAngularBounds

public void setAngularBounds(double theta,
                             double width)

Constrains this layout to the specified angular sector

Parameters:

theta - the starting angle, in radians

width - the angular width, in radians

run

public void run(double frac)

Description copied from class: Action

Runs this Action, triggering whatever processing this Action performs. Subclass this method to create custom Actions.

Specified by:

run in class GroupAction

Parameters:

frac - the fraction of this Action's duration that has elapsed.

See Also:

Action.run(double)

reset

public void reset()

Clears references to graph tuples. The group and visualization are retained.

Overrides:

reset in class TreeLayout

                      double theta2)

Compute the layout.

Parameters:

n - the root of the current subtree under consideration
