Family tree layout with Eclipse ELK
I'm trying to use ElkJS to calculate the layout for a family tree and getting pretty decent results. However, I can't seem to get the T-style intersections working.
Consider a family with 2 parents (P1, P2) and 3 children (P3, P4, P5). I added a fake node R1 with 1x1 size to which all other nodes are connected, and this is the ELK JSON I am using:
{
"id": "root",
"layoutOptions": {
"elk.algorithm": "layered",
"elk.direction": "DOWN",
"elk.edgeRouting": "ORTHOGONAL",
"elk.layered.mergeEdges": true
},
"children": [
{
"id": "P1",
"width": 100,
"height": 50,
"layoutOptions": { "elk.portConstraints": "FIXED_SIDE" },
"ports": [
{ "id": "P1:e", "layoutOptions": { "elk.port.side": "EAST" } },
{ "id": "P1:w", "layoutOptions": { "elk.port.side": "WEST" } }
]
},
{
"id": "P2",
"width": 100,
"height": 50,
"layoutOptions": { "elk.portConstraints": "FIXED_SIDE" },
"ports": [
{ "id": "P2:e", "layoutOptions": { "elk.port.side": "EAST" } },
{ "id": "P2:w", "layoutOptions": { "elk.port.side": "WEST" } }
]
},
{
"id": "P3",
"width": 100,
"height": 50,
"layoutOptions": { "elk.portConstraints": "FIXED_SIDE" },
"ports": [
{ "id": "P3:n", "layoutOptions": { "elk.port.side": "NORTH" } }
]
},
{
"id": "P4",
"width": 100,
"height": 50,
"layoutOptions": { "elk.portConstraints": "FIXED_SIDE" },
"ports": [
{ "id": "P4:n", "layoutOptions": { "elk.port.side": "NORTH" } }
]
},
{
"id": "P5",
"width": 100,
"height": 50,
"layoutOptions": { "elk.portConstraints": "FIXED_SIDE" },
"ports": [
{ "id": "P5:n", "layoutOptions": { "elk.port.side": "NORTH" } }
]
},
{
"id": "R1",
"width": 1,
"height": 1,
"layoutOptions": { "elk.portConstraints": "FIXED_SIDE" },
"ports": [
{ "id": "R1:n", "layoutOptions": { "elk.port.side": "NORTH" } },
{ "id": "R1:s", "layoutOptions": { "elk.port.side": "SOUTH" } }
]
}
],
"edges": [
{ "id": "E1", "sources": [ "P1:e" ], "targets": [ "R1:n" ] },
{ "id": "E2", "sources": [ "P2:w" ], "targets": [ "R1:n" ] },
{ "id": "E3", "sources": [ "R1:s" ], "targets": [ "P3:n" ] },
{ "id": "E4", "sources": [ "R1:s" ], "targets": [ "P4:n" ] },
{ "id": "E5", "sources": [ "R1:s" ], "targets": [ "P5:n" ] }
]
}
Expected result:
Actual result:
I'm implementing an app that draws arbitrary trees from user input. Therefore, the best solution should not rely on explicit port side specification.
It it possible to fix this?
