I have some diagramNodes that I am trying to layout using LayeredLayout approach.

I am creating each shapenode and specifying which AnchorPoints to use for each shapenode (for instance, rather than just middle points for a rectangle it uses all points) and then initiate layerdlayout. If some changes are made, I am trying to initiate a re-layout using javascript so that it is faster and does not require a postback.

When I do a re-layout using javascript, it does the following:

1. It ignores the specified anchorpoints and uses the default ones

2. With exactly same information, every time I do a re-layout with javascript, it gives a different layout.

Can you please let me know what I can do to prevent these issues?

Thank you.

Stoyan,

For 1, I have tested using all three different type of layout.setAnchoring but all of them are returning same results.

I have set the AnchorPattern from the .NET side for each node. It this still accessible and recognized from Java side?

For 2, It would very much help if you can return same layout in order to reduce confusion.

Thank you.

Thank you. Based on your explaining I was able to confirm that the anchor points are consistent. However, the links, when using .NET, use these anchorpoints as starting and ending point for links but Java ignores them when LayeredLayout is performed.

Is there a setting that enforces this? I tried to find it but couldn't find it in the help menu.

Thank you.

I see. My goal is to have the layeredlayout use one of the specified anchorpoint per node based on optimal routing not the exact one that the link is attached to initially.

Thank you.
