- Priority 1/2/3 – To minimize the number of crossings, the view calculates how to display nodes
according to their priority. Set priorities with the pick list (
None, Intra— Links between
adjacent nodes,
Adjacent— Links between nodes of adjacent tiers , or Skip —Links between
nodes in non adajacent tiers). Priority 1 is highest.
-
Weights –Set the number weighting the selected priorities (the previous item).
Circular
This lays out the relevant objects in a circle. You can specify the number of circles, the spacing
between this circles (in percentage of the specified radius) and specify a center node when
displayed as a star. If not specified, the node which has most links connected acts as the center.
Figure 21-15. Topology View–Circular Layout
This layout has the following Circular Settings:
- Propagation –Check to propagate. When selected, changes to any individual entity automates
recalculation of the positions of connected entities.
-
Node Order –Select from the pick list ( List –as nodes are listed in the database — or Optimal –the
nodes appear so the overall length of all links is a minimum).
-
Best fit –When checked, this arranges the circle within the bounds of the available screen real
estate.
