	I'm trying to show a diagram where shapes arranged using SpringLayout or AnnealLayout, this part works great. For SpringLayout or AnnealLayout shapes without links arranged in a single top row. If there is lots of shapes without links then diagram looks very bad (single long row at the top). I've tried to apply SpringLayout/AnnealLayout for shapes with links and GridLayout for rest , but final picture is not good enough: all links are arranged in grid style, shapes with and without links are mixed. The ideal diagram which I'm going to achieve is: - shapes with links arranged using SpringLayout / AnnealLayout / CircularLayout - shapes without links placed and arranged with GridLayout in minimal area Is there a way to achieve this?

	Hi, It depends on the MultipleGraphsPlacement property whether unconnected shapes are placed at the top. Check if the layout looks better with MultipleGraphsPlacement set to MinimalArea. This might also depend on the layout's SplitGraph property. If SplitGraph is enabled, an unconnected node will be treated as a graph on its own and processed as specified by MultipleGraphsPlacement. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	MultipleGraphsPlacement=MinimalArea + SplitGraph=false works for me much better. Thank You! Alex
