Keywords
models
##### Usage
circleLayout(g, radius=1) # does not compile with boost 1.49
fruchtermanReingoldForceDirectedLayout(g, width=1, height=1)
randomGraphLayout(g, minX=0, maxX=1, minY=0, maxY=1)
##### Arguments
g
an instance of the graph class with edgemode “undirected”
edge_or_side
boolean indicating the length is for an edge or for a side, default is for an edge
es_length
the length of an edge or a side for layout
width
the width of the dislay area, all x coordinates fall in [-width/2, width/2]
height
the height of the display area, all y coordinates fall in [-height/2, height/2]
minX
minimum x coordinate
maxX
maximum x coordinate
minY
minimum y coordinate
maxY
maximum y coordinate
##### Details

If you want to simply draw a graph, you should consider using package Rgraphviz. The layout options in package Rgraphviz: neato, circo and fdp, correspond to kamadaKawaiSpringLayout, circleLayout and fruchtermanReingoldForceDirectedLayout, respectively.

Function circleLayout layouts the graph with the vertices at the points of a regular n-polygon. The distance from the center of the polygon to each point is determined by the radius parameter.

Function kamadaKawaiSpringLayout provides Kamada-Kawai spring layout for connected, undirected graphs. User provides either the unit length e of an edge in the layout or the length of a side s of the display area.

Function randomGraphLayout places the points of the graph at random locations.

Function fruchtermanReingoldForceDirectedLayout performs layout of unweighted, undirected graphs. It's a force-directed algorithm. The BGL implementation doesn't handle disconnected graphs very well, since it doesn't explicitly give each connected component a region proportional to its size.

See documentation on this function in Boost Graph Library for more details.

##### Value

A (2 x n) matrix, where n is the number of nodes in the graph, each column gives the (x, y)-coordinates for the corresponding node.
