<strong>Description</strong>:<br />

In a hierarchical layout, this attribute specifies the vertical position of a node. maxlevel<br />

tries to position the node at the maximum calculated level. Generally speaking, the vertical<br />

position of nodes is called level or rank (see p. 117), with level being a synonym for<br />

vertical_order.<br />

All level 0 nodes form the uppermost layer (the first layer), if the orientation is top-down.<br />

Level 1 nodes form the second layer, etc.<br />

The level specification is not in effect unless if an automatic layout is being calculated. The<br />

layout is calculated automatically if there is at least one node without a specified location<br />

(see loc attribute for nodes (p. 96) and summary nodes (p. 78).<br />

Note: The level specification may conflict with a near edge (p. 44) specification, because<br />

the source and target node of a near edge have to have the same level. In this case, the level<br />

specification of the source or target node of the near edge is ignored.<br />
