Hi,

I have a further question about groups. As I understand, it is not possible to create a hierarchical group structure, where the same diagram node is the mainitem of two groups.

In our application we use the flowlayout algorithm on different level with small parts of the diagram and we do arrangements based on our hierarchical structure. In the flowlayout we have in most cases the keepgrouplayout property set to true. Now it happens that one node can be the mainitem of two groups. These groups are part of the hierarchical structure, one group is also a member of the other group. And this inner group should keep its layout, when the outer is arranged and the outer group should keep its layout, when the complete diagram is arranged. Is it possible for you, to extend the group handling, so one node can be mainitem of two groups, so this hierarchical structure can be handled inside the diagram?

I saw also, that there is a containernode class. So far I did not use this and I do not need the drag and drop feature of this class. Is it possible that this class can help with our problem? Does the containernode class work with the flowlayout algorithm? Are nodes inside a containernode ignored by the flowlayout algorithm? Can a link connect a node outside of a container and a node inside a container?

Thanks for your help.
