Layout Styles

	Circular layout emphasizes group structures by organizing diagrams into recognizable clusters. It is particularly effective for network diagrams.
	Hierarchical layout reveals dependencies and flows in a diagram. It is particularly effective for biochemical pathway diagrams, dataflow diagrams, process models and workflow diagrams.
	Orthogonal layout creates schematic representations using only horizontal and vertical connector routing. Orthogonal layout places the diagram's shapes on a grid of rows and columns, and routes the connectors parallel to the x and y axes. It is often used for CAD and CASE diagrams, database diagrams, entity relationship diagrams, circuit diagrams and organizational charts.
	Symmetric layout emphasizes the symmetries inherent in a diagram by uniformly distributing shapes and connectors. It is ideal for code dependencies, knowledge representation, mesh network topologies, network diagrams and social networks.
	Tree layout represents data structures in a way that show parent and child relationships. It is particularly effective for call graphs and organizational charts.
