[KIEKER-995] Auto layout for KaxViz #932

Open rju opened 3 weeks ago

JIRA Issue: KIEKER-995 Auto layout for KaxViz Original Reporter: Nils Christian Ehmke

It would be nice to have an auto layouting within KaxViz. It seems like there are some auto layout code snippets which are commented out, but currently there is no such possibility.

Maybe use Kieler?

It would be quite some work to include Kieler into the used framework, I guess. Especially as teh framework supports several autolayouts by itself.

When I originally created KaxViz I had a nice autolayout, but that had problems with the later added display of ports. This should be fixable.

Check if fixed with new release of jgraph. If not, move milestone to X

The layouts available in jgraphx are not compatible with the way we add our ports.

A solution would be to connect all filters without ports, then layout, then remove connections and connect with ports.

Guess this workaround would be better than nothing. How does it look?

Like work?
I did not implement it, but feel free.
