Yfiles layout

Skill yWorks/yfiles-for-html-skills/skills/yfiles-layout

This skill should be used when the user asks to "apply a layout", "arrange nodes", "organize the graph", "apply hierarchical layout", "use organic layout", "use tree layout", or mentions layout algorithms like "HierarchicalLayout", "OrganicLayout", "TreeLayout", "CircularLayout", "OrthogonalLayout", or "RadialLayout".From its SKILL.md

2 things to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Apply Automatic Layouts

Execute layout algorithms to automatically arrange graph elements.

Before Applying

Always query the yFiles MCP for current API:

yfiles:yfiles_search_by_description(query="layout algorithm")
yfiles:yfiles_get_symbol_details(name="HierarchicalLayout")
yfiles:yfiles_get_symbol_details(name="LayoutExecutor")

Quick Start

import { HierarchicalLayout, LayoutExecutor } from '@yfiles/yfiles'

await new LayoutExecutor({
  graphComponent,
  layout: new HierarchicalLayout(),
  animationDuration: '0.5s'
}).start()

Choosing a Layout

Graph type	Algorithm
Tree (no cycles)	`TreeLayout`
Directed / hierarchical	`HierarchicalLayout`
Undirected network	`OrganicLayout`
Center focus / star	`RadialLayout`
Orthogonal routing	`OrthogonalLayout`
Circular / cyclic	`CircularLayout`

LayoutExecutor Options

new LayoutExecutor({
  graphComponent,          // Required
  layout,                  // Required: ILayoutAlgorithm
  layoutData,              // Optional: layout-specific constraints/hints
  animationDuration: '1s',
  animateViewport: true,
  easedAnimation: true
})
