Selecting a topology map layout
9
Organic
The Organic layout distributes the nodes evenly, makes connection lengths uniform, minimizes
criss-crossing of connections, and tries to prevent nodes from touching each other.
Hierarchical
The Hierarchical layout is best for a complex map. This layout might have a start point and end
point, with some overall flow between those points.
