Automatically arranging nodes and groups

To optimally arrange objects on the map of network interactions, you can use algorithms that automatically rearrange nodes and groups. The following algorithms are provided:

  • Radial arrangement
  • Alignment to grid

You can apply automatic arrangement algorithms to the following objects:

  • All displayed nodes and groups at the top level of the hierarchy in the group tree. Automatic arrangement is performed using the Cascading items icon. (radial arrangement) button and the Grid icon. (grid-aligned arrangement) button in the toolbar located in the left part of the network interactions map display area.
  • All displayed nodes and groups within the expanded group. To perform automatic arrangement, you can click the Cascading items icon. (to arrange radially) and Grid icon. (to align to grid) buttons in the title bar of the expanded group's box.
  • Only selected nodes and collapsed groups. Before automatic arrangement, you must select at least three nodes and/or collapsed groups within an expanded group or at the top level of the hierarchy. To select multiple objects, you can press and hold the SHIFT key and draw a selection box around the necessary objects, or you can select multiple objects by CTRL+clicking them. Automatic arrangement is performed using the Cascading items inside a selection box icon. (radial arrangement) button and the Grid inside a selection box icon. (grid-aligned arrangement) button in the toolbar located in the left part of the network interactions map display area.

Nodes and groups that have been automatically arranged become pinned to their new location. The Colored pin icon. icon is added to these objects. You can unpin them if necessary.
