| Identifier: | org.eclipse.elk.layered.layerUnzipping.minimizeEdgeLength |
| Meta Data Provider: | options.LayeredMetaDataProvider |
| Value Type: | boolean |
| Default Value: | false (as defined in org.eclipse.elk.layered) |
| Applies To: | nodes |
| Dependencies: | org.eclipse.elk.layered.layerUnzipping.layerSplit (2) |
| Containing Group: | layerUnzipping |
Description
Use a heuristic to decide whether or not to actually perform the layer split with the goal of minimizing the total edge length. This option only works when layerSplit is set to 2. The property can be set to the nodes in a layer, which then applies the property for the layer. If any node sets the value to true, then the value is set to true for the entire layer.
