Created attachment 120409 [details] Remove ExtendedDirectedGraphLayout Build ID: I20080617-2000 Steps To Reproduce: Currently the DirectedGraphLayoutAlgorithm disables functionality in DirectedGraphLayout that spreads out GraphNodes horizontally. This leads to a graph that has all the nodes in a single column. More information: If DirectedGraphLayout is used instead of ExtendedDirectedGraphLayout then, for my usage at least, the layout is better. If there is a need for ExtendedDirectedLayout maybe the constructor to DirectedGraphLayoutAlgorithm could have an extra parameter? I've attached a patch that simply removes ExtendedDirectedGraphLayout, if something more intelligent is wanted let me know.
This is used in the PDE visualization tool, we use the directed graph layout to get the row ordering, then we move the nodes manually. This is much faster then using the default directed graph layout (it is very smart with respect to column ordering, and thus very slow). I will look at this patch, and see if we can maybe create two different layout algorithms to make both cases work.
