Welcome to the second tutorial! We will work our way through installing a proper Eclipse setup and developing a first very basic layout algorithm. The layout algorithm will integrate with KIML (KIELER Infrastructure for Meta-Layout), our very own framework that connects graphical editors with layout algorithms. Once you're finished, you should be able to create new Eclipse plug-ins and know how to write layout algorithms for KIML. And you should have a running Eclipse-based application that should look something like this:

Add a new method that will implement the edge routing using the following skeleton code:
Code Block language java /** * Routes the edges connecting the nodes in the given graph. * * @param parentNode the graph whose edges to route. * @param yStart y coordinate of the start of the edge routing area. * @param objectSpacing the object spacing. * @return height used for edge routing. */ private float routeEdges(final KNode parentNode, final float yStart, final float objectSpacing) { // TODO: Implement edge routing return 0; }
- Add a call to
routeEdges(...)in yourdoLayout(...)method and implement the latter.
