Choose a Network Map Layout Algorithm

Choose a Network Map Layout Algorithm

There are six different layout algorithms for visualizing nodes and edges in the network mapping module. Here is a brief overview of the options and instructions on how to change them.

The Six Layout Algorithm Options in PARTNER CPRM

These layout algorithm options include:
  1. CoSE (Compound Spring Embedder)
  2. FCoSE (Fast CoSE)
  3. D3-Force Layout
  4. Grid Layout
  5. Circle Layout
  6. Breadth-First Layout

How to Choose a Layout Algorithm

Follow these instructions to access and switch between options.

1. First, open the analyzer (Ecosystem or Capture) and make sure you have the network map open.

2. Click the gear icon on the left-side panel to open the misc. settings for the analyzer network map.

3. Click the dropdown menu titled 'Layout Algorithms' and choose the option you want to use.

4. Click the 'redraw map' button at the top of the analyzer screen to implement your new algorithm.
Alert
NOTE: The "Grid" and "Breadth-first" options may not work properly with larger-sized networks (100+ nodes).
