[Moose-dev] Re: preparing the 4.0 release

Hi Alex, Not really. Three of them (neato, fdp and sfdp) are spring layouts. Dot is similar to the DominanceTreeLayout. Twopi is similar to RadialTreeLayout, but the layout makes better use of space, especially when you have connected trees. Even the circo layout is different in that it can handle multiple circles.

MOGraphVizLayout provides convenience constructors (both class and instance side) for the different layouts supported by GraphViz.

However, I am not sure it has to be part of Mondrian itself. MOGraphVizLayout use OSProcess, and I think that Mondrian should not depend on OSProcess. >>> >>> Cheers, >>> Alexandre >>> >>> >>> On 10 May 2010, at 05:58, Tudor Girba wrote: >>> >>>> Hi, >>>> >>>> It looks like most issues related to 4.0 are solved, with the exception of the Glamour cycle which I moved to 4.1.
