"SymmetricLayeredEmbedding" (Graph Layout Method)

Details & Suboptions

  • The symmetric layered embedding is a graph-drawing technique to position vertices of a graph on symmetric parallel lines.
  • The symmetric layered embedding is typically used to lay out directed acyclic graphs.
  • Possible settings to control the layout include:
  • "Rotation" Automaticlayout rotation

Place vertices in a series of layers symmetrically:

"SymmetricLayeredEmbedding" works best for directed acyclic graphs:

The symmetric layered drawing works on arbitrary graphs:
