Swim Lane Shape Placement

Hi,

Have a look at the attached screenshot.
Can you tell me why the swim lane layout seems to place the shapes numbered 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 in what I consider to be a desirable location, but 2.2 is placed to the extreme left of its swim lane.
Ideally, I'd like 2.2 vertically aligned with 2.3, but I was hoping the automatic layout would do that for me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Jim

Me again,

Any update on this?
I realize that I could force alignment myself in code (you provided me with a technique to do this just recently), but I'd like the swimLayout.Arrange(diagram) to do as much of this for me as possible.

I'd like to understand why the first shape placed in a lane is not necessarily positioned to the left of that lane.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Jim

I am getting the following layout, check if you aren't moving the nodes later from some post-processing code.



Code
Select All
diagram.EnableLanes = true;
diagram.LaneGrid.RowCount = 4;

var n00 = diagram.Factory.CreateShapeNode(0, 0, 20, 15);
n00.LayoutTraits[SwimlaneLayoutTraits.Lane] = 0;

var n01 = diagram.Factory.CreateShapeNode(0, 0, 20, 15);
n01.LayoutTraits[SwimlaneLayoutTraits.Lane] = 0;

var n10 = diagram.Factory.CreateShapeNode(0, 0, 20, 15);
n10.LayoutTraits[SwimlaneLayoutTraits.Lane] = 1;

var n11 = diagram.Factory.CreateShapeNode(0, 0, 20, 15);
n11.LayoutTraits[SwimlaneLayoutTraits.Lane] = 1;

var n12 = diagram.Factory.CreateShapeNode(0, 0, 20, 15);
n12.LayoutTraits[SwimlaneLayoutTraits.Lane] = 1;

var n20 = diagram.Factory.CreateShapeNode(0, 0, 20, 15);
n20.LayoutTraits[SwimlaneLayoutTraits.Lane] = 2;

var n21 = diagram.Factory.CreateShapeNode(0, 0, 20, 15);
n21.LayoutTraits[SwimlaneLayoutTraits.Lane] = 2;

var n30 = diagram.Factory.CreateShapeNode(0, 0, 20, 15);
n30.LayoutTraits[SwimlaneLayoutTraits.Lane] = 3;

diagram.Factory.CreateDiagramLink(n10, n11);
diagram.Factory.CreateDiagramLink(n11, n12);
diagram.Factory.CreateDiagramLink(n12, n00);
diagram.Factory.CreateDiagramLink(n00, n01);
diagram.Factory.CreateDiagramLink(n11, n30);
diagram.Factory.CreateDiagramLink(n12, n20);
diagram.Factory.CreateDiagramLink(n20, n21);

var l = new SwimlaneLayout();
l.CompactNodes = true;
l.Arrange(diagram);
