TreeMapControl.LayoutAlgorithm Property

Gets or sets a layout algorithm for arranging TreeMap items.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.TreeMap

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.TreeMap.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public TreeMapLayoutAlgorithmBase LayoutAlgorithm { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property LayoutAlgorithm As TreeMapLayoutAlgorithmBase

Property Value

Type	Description
TreeMapLayoutAlgorithmBase	A TreeMapLayoutAlgorithmBase class descendant object, specifying a layout 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.
