This is preliminary documentation. You've been warned. |
KLay Layered supports a whole bunch of layout options. Every single one of them is documented here.

Beside a human-readable name, layout options are defined by the following properties:
Set
over a given enumeration), or Object. The types Enum and EnumSet have to be further defined by an enumeration class. The Object type can be constricted to a certain class.null
is returned when it is accessed.KLay Layered supports layout options defined by KIML and defines additional custom layout options.
KLay Layered supports the following standard layout options defined by KIML. Note that the default value may be altered (highlighted yellow).

TODO: Write a bit of documentation about the most important layout options and how to use them, possibly with a simple example or something.
This section explains every layout option in more detail. See the KIML documentation for more information on KIML layout options. Those options are only mentioned here if KLay Layered adds some custom behavior.
