+ This example shows the effect of the different hierarchical layouting + methods, node shaking and how hierarchical layouts work with clustering. + Also note that it's impossible to properly position a "hierarchy" with a + cycle (If node 1 is above node 2 and node 2 is above node 1 which one is + actually on top?) +
+ ++ The hub size layouting method is based on the amount of edges connected + to a node. The node with the most connections (the largest hub) is drawn + at the top of the tree. +
+ ++ The direction layouting method is based on the direction of the edges. + The from nodes are placed above the to nodes in the hierarchy. Nodes + that can be placed on multiple levels are by default shaken towards + towards the leaves. All the leaves are then in a single line at the very + bottom of the hierarchy. Optionally they can be shaken towards the roots + which results in the roots being in a single line at the very top of the + hierarchy. +
