\title{Graph layouts}
\usage{
layout_(graph, layout, ...)
\method{print}{igraph_layout_spec}(x, ...)
\method{print}{igraph_layout_modifier}(x, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{graph}{The input graph.}
\item{layout}{The layout specification. It must be a call
to a layout specification function.}
\item{...}{Further modifiers, see a complete list below.
For the \code{\link[=print]{print()}} methods, it is ignored.}
\item{x}{The layout specification}
}
\value{
The return value of the layout function, usually a
two column matrix. For 3D layouts a three column matrix.
}
\description{
This is a generic function to apply a layout function to
a graph.
}
\details{
There are two ways to calculate graph layouts in igraph.
The first way is to call a layout function (they all have
prefix \code{layout_()} on a graph, to get the vertex coordinates.
The second way (new in igraph 0.8.0), has two steps, and it
is more flexible. First you call a layout specification
function (the one without the \code{layout_()} prefix, and
then \code{layout_()} (or \code{\link[=add_layout_]{add_layout_()}}) to
perform the layouting.
The second way is preferred, as it is more flexible. It allows
operations before and after the layouting. E.g. using the
\code{component_wise()} argument, the layout can be calculated
separately for each component, and then merged to get the
final results.
}
\section{Modifiers}{
Modifiers modify how a layout calculation is performed.
Currently implemented modifiers: \itemize{
\item \code{component_wise()} calculates the layout separately
for each component of the graph, and then merges
them.
\item \code{normalize()} scales the layout to a square.
}
}
\examples{
g <- make_ring(10) + make_full_graph(5)
coords <- layout_(g, as_star())
plot(g, layout = coords)
}
\seealso{
\code{\link[=add_layout_]{add_layout_()}} to add the layout to the
graph as an attribute.
