GridLayout.RandomSeed Property

Gets or sets the seed value to use for generating random node positions.

 Syntax

VB6

Public Property Get RandomSeed() As Long
Public Property Let RandomSeed( _
    ByVal value As Long _
)

C++

public:
int get_RandomSeed ()
void put_RandomSeed (
    int value
)

 Property Value

A long value. The default is 0.

 Remarks

In its initial stages, the grid layout routine places nodes at random locations. The default value of 0 makes random numbers generated from a different seed each time the routine runs. However, that could lead to the same graph having a different layout each time the algorithm is executed. If that's not desired, assign a value different than zero to this property.
