Auto positioning

[quentingosset]

I don't find if it is possible with your system to do auto positioning. I currently have a JSON that comes out of my A application where I have no positioning I just know the next and previous. Is it possible to do auto positioning? If so how and if not, do you have any idea how I can implement this?

Hi!

It does not have self-positioning.

I understand you want to do something like: https://jsoncrack.com/editor

You just have to count the nodes that each child has and position them according to the distance you want.

If you draw the boxes at 50px size and 70px spacing.

If you have a father and three children. The distances would be:

Parent: Left: 0px; Top: 0px

Child1: Left: 150px; Top: -120px; // 70 - 50px;

Child2: Left: 150px; Top: 0px;

Child3: Left: 150px; Top: 70px;

With a simple rule, I could add the children.
