New Post: Tree Layout

Hi,

I'm trying to use NODEXL for tree structure (I know that there are other tool specially for such layout but i prefer to use the NODEXL due to other factors)

I have used the SugiyamaLayout but this is what i'm getting when the graph is draw.



How can I distribute the vertices evenly inside the windows frame ?

something like that:



This is my code:

 protected void PopulateAndDrawGraph()
        {          
            oVertices = nodeXLControl1.Graph.Vertices;
            oEdges = nodeXLControl1.Graph.Edges;
            IVertex parent = oVertices.Add();
            float primScreenHeight = (float)System.Windows.SystemParameters.FullPrimaryScreenHeight;
            float primScreenWidth = (float)System.Windows.SystemParameters.FullPrimaryScreenWidth;

            parent.Location = new System.Drawing.PointF(primScreenHeight/2, 20);
            // Draw vertex Root as a Label, which is a rectangle containing text.
            parent.SetValue(ReservedMetadataKeys.PerVertexShape, VertexShape.Label);
            parent.SetValue(ReservedMetadataKeys.PerVertexLabel, tree.Graph.ToString());

            // Set the label's text and fill colors.
            parent.SetValue(ReservedMetadataKeys.PerColor, Color.FromArgb(255, 220, 220, 220));
            parent.SetValue(ReservedMetadataKeys.PerVertexLabelFillColor, Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 0, 0));

            buildTree(tree,parent);
                
            nodeXLControl1.Layout = new Smrf.NodeXL.Layouts.SugiyamaLayout();
            nodeXLControl1.DrawGraph(true);
        }
        
    

    public void buildTree(Node node,IVertex parent)
        {
            if (node.Children == null || node.Children.Count == 0)
            {                
                return;
            }
            // Add Root Vertex
            

            foreach (var child in node.Children)
            {
                IVertex childNode = oVertices.Add();

                // Draw vertex Root as a Label, which is a rectangle containing text.
                childNode.SetValue(ReservedMetadataKeys.PerVertexShape, VertexShape.Label);
                childNode.SetValue(ReservedMetadataKeys.PerVertexLabel, child.Graph.ToString());

                // Set the label's text and fill colors.
                childNode.SetValue(ReservedMetadataKeys.PerColor, Color.FromArgb(255, 220, 220, 220));
                childNode.SetValue(ReservedMetadataKeys.PerVertexLabelFillColor, Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 0, 0));


                //Add Edge to father 
                IEdge oEdge1 = oEdges.Add(parent, childNode, true);

                oEdge1.SetValue(ReservedMetadataKeys.PerColor, Color.FromArgb(255, 55, 125, 98));
                oEdge1.SetValue(ReservedMetadataKeys.PerEdgeWidth, 3F);
                oEdge1.SetValue(ReservedMetadataKeys.PerEdgeLabel, child.CurrentMove.Player + " - " + child.CurrentMove.Position);

                buildTree(child, childNode);
            }
        }
