 Remarks

The FlowLayout algorithm can be used to lay out flowcharts, workflow and process diagrams. It works by applying a customizable set of rules for local positioning of connected nodes relatively to each other. On a larger scale, the algorithm keeps groups of nodes separate and prevents links between the groups from crossing nodes. The FlowLayout and ProcessLayout examples included in the MindFusion.Diagramming package demonstrate two sample sets of layout rules.
