Description Matthias Wienand

Currently, when the layout-bounds to not allow a full layout of the whole tree, the SpaceTreeLayoutAlgorithm does not hide children as needed, but instead, places them directly on top of each other in the top left corner (when laying out top-down). We should ensure hiding/showing of children is performed, so that the available space is better used by the algorithm.

Further clarification: I do not opt for bringing back the possibility to change the Zest HidingModel from within a layout algorithm, but instead, use e.g. LayoutProperties#LAYOUT_IRRELEVANT as an output parameter for layout algorithms. These parameters can be checked by Zest so that the HidingModel can then be manipulated to reflect the layout-irrelevant nodes.

Hi Matthias,

Is this issue fixed ?
I am facing the exact same problem.

Thanks and Regards,
