I'd be grateful if the other devs could take a look at Martins plug-in and give some feedback.
In particular compare the results of the class diagram layout from the Tools menu and compare that with the Layout option on the Arrange menu. The major issues I'm aware of are - http://gef-layout.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=20 The current implementation does not differentiate between nodes connected by generalization edges or by some other. This means that associated nodes are currently placed under eachother rather than side by side. http://gef-layout.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=23 The hierarchical layout produced by Sugiyma appears to push nodes to the left hand side. Work is underway to position nodes correctly. The work has been developed as a plugin so that Martin could commit to a project while ArgoUML source was frozen. I'd prefer he continues in this manner until it is clear which parts of the algorithm are generic resuable layouts for GEF and which are UML specific and can move to ArgoUML. Regards Bob.

Hi everybody, I am a Summer of Code student working on layout algorithms for UML diagrams. I have a 'pre-release' of what's working so far - see the packaged jar files in http://gef-layout.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList in the pre-releases folder. To install, put both jar files in the build/ext directory of ArgoUML and the functionality will appear as a plugin. You have two options: - The Sugiyama layout is a basic hierarchical layouter - The Class Diagram layout includes support for rectilinear edges and constellations of nodes, e.g. packages. A list of issues and tasks to be completed can be found at http://gef-layout.tigris.org/issues/buglist.cgi I am currently working on the orthogonal layout of the association edges. Regards, Martin.
