AnnealLayout.Stages Property

Gets or sets how many cool-down stages the algorithm should simulate.

Namespace: MindFusion.Diagramming.Layout
Package: MindFusion.Diagramming

 Syntax

C#

public int Stages { get; set; }

Visual Basic

Public Property Stages As Integer

 Property Value

An integer value specifying the number of temperature decreases the simulation should run. The default is 15.

 Remarks

At each stage the algorithm evaluates different graph arrangements produced by modifying the best configuration from the previous stage. The modifications are done by shifting nodes by a distance that depends on the current temperature. The TemperatureScale property specifies how much the temperature decreases at each stage. IterationsPerStage specifies how many configurations are evaluated at each stage.
