5 Graph Description Language (GDL) - Absint

Default value: no
Attribute of: top-level graph, subgraphs
Description:
yes forces a fast layout of edge labels, which may result in overlapping of labels. Dirty edge
labels cannot be used if splines are used for edge drawing.
• display_edge_labels
Type: yes, no
Default value: no
Attribute of: top-level graph, subgraphs
Description:
yes: edge labels are displayed, no: edge labels are not displayed.
• edges
Type: yes, no
Default value: yes
Attribute of: top-level graph
Description:
no: suppresses the drawing of edges in the top-level graph and in all nested subgraphs.
• energetic
Type: yes, no
Default value: no
Attribute of: top-level graph
Description:
This attribute applies only to the forcedir layout algorithm.
Apart from the forces of the spring embedder and the magnetic fields, the local energy level
of a node can be taken into account in deciding whether the node should move or not. Setting
this attribute to yes causes the local energy present at a node to be considered during layout.
For details, see p. 115.
• energetic attraction, energetic repulsion, energetic gravity,
energetic crossing, energetic overlapping, energetic border
Type: float
Default values: see list below
Attribute of: top-level graph
Description:
This attribute applies only to the forcedir layout algorithm.
Apart from the forces of the spring embedder and the magnetic fields, the local energy level
of a node can be taken into account in deciding whether the node should move or not. The
behavior of the local energy present at a node can be influenced via the following attributes:
– energetic attraction, Default value: 70.0
Weight of the attractive energy of edges
– energetic repulsion, Default value: 70.0
Weight of the repulsive energy between nodes
70
