Key Insights on Orthogonal LayoutEverything you need to know about orthogonal layouts
The "Graph Layouts in yFiles" webinar series explores advanced techniques and best practices for effective graph visualization.
This sixth episode focuses on the yFiles orthogonal layout, a technique designed to produce clear, right-angled graph structures. The webinar highlights its applications and key characteristics, illustrated with practical examples. Learn how to determine if the orthogonal layout is suitable for your data and discover the basics of configuring this layout with yFiles for HTML to meet your specific needs.
The session is presented by Dr. Benjamin Niedermann, a Senior Algorithm Engineer in the Layout Team at yWorks, with a deep background in graph algorithms and visualization methods.
