Layout Manager Padding, Margin?

[Mike Graves]

I am currently using a symmetric layout manager to arrange nodes. Is it possible to apply padding or margins to the layout? After the layout is complete the nodes are aligned top left.

Hi Mike,

The top and left margin can be achieved using the following code.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

SymmetricLayoutManager smtLayout = new SymmetricLayoutManager(this.diagram1.Model, DEF_LAYOUT_DISTANCE);
smtLayout.PreferredLayout += new PreferredLayoutEventHandler(smtLayout_PreferredLayout);
this.diagram1.LayoutManager = smtLayout;
}

void smtLayout_PreferredLayout(object sender, PreferredLayoutEventArgs evtArgs)
{
evtArgs.Location = new PointF(100, 100);
}

Regards,
Dinesh
