StripedLayoutAlgorithm Class

A class representing the Strip layout algorithm.

Assembly : DevExpress.Xpf.TreeMap.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Wpf.TreeMap

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

csharp

public class StripedLayoutAlgorithm :
    TreeMapLayoutAlgorithm

Public Class StripedLayoutAlgorithm
    Inherits TreeMapLayoutAlgorithm

Remarks

Under this algorithm, for each item to layout, check whether adding the item to the current strip improves the average aspect ratios of the rectangles in the current strip. If the average aspect ratio is improved, the rectangle is added to the current strip, otherwise, the current strip is fixed and a new strip is created, to which the item is added.

The following image demonstrates the layout calculated using this algorithm.

Example

To customize the layout algorithm, do the following.

Assign a newly created TreeMapLayoutAlgorithmBase class descendant object to the TreeMapControl.LayoutAlgorithm property.
Optionally, for all predefined layout algorithms, it is possible to specify a layout’s fill direction using the TreeMapLayoutAlgorithm.Direction property.
In addition to the layout direction, for the SliceAndDiceLayoutAlgorithm you can change its mode using the SliceAndDiceLayoutAlgorithm.LayoutMode property.
