Edge Router
This demo shows common configuration options for the (polyline)
EdgeRouter.
-
Basic distance settings like the
minimum node-edge distance and the
minimum edge-edge distance.
-
Scope: the
orange edges are
not routed by the algorithm, they are so-called fixed edges. All other
edges are routed, thus, called affected edges.
-
Routing Style: the default
style in this example is orthogonal, but the
blue edges are routed using the
octilinear style.
-
Grouping of edges: the
pink edges are grouped at their
target side.
-
Restricting ports via Port Candidates: at node '5' and
node '7', ports are restricted to be on the left or right side (west/east). For other
nodes the port sides are not restricted.
- Grid routing. Edges are routed on a 10x10 grid.
Code Snippet
To experiment with the settings, you can copy the code snippet to configure the router
from
GitHub.
Demos
More features offered by the EdgeRouter algorithm are shown by the
Layout Styles Demo.
