Class DefaultDimensionStrategy

java.lang.Object
  net.sourceforge.toscanaj.controller.ndimlayout.DefaultDimensionStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

DimensionCreationStrategy

public class DefaultDimensionStrategy

extends java.lang.Object

implements DimensionCreationStrategy

This dimension strategy ensure the usual type of attribute-additivity. One attribute of each meet-irreducible concept gets assigned a dimension, which results in an attribute-additive line diagram based on attributes of meet-irreducibles. This is the usual layout used e.g. by Anaconda, except that the manipulation always works in a controlled way: moving the meet-irreducible elements moves the ideals (as with the ideal manipulator in our tools or Anaconda), while moving other nodes splits the movement onto the dimensions involved (I think that can be expressed as moving the ideals of all meet-irreducibles in the interval between the concept and the join of all of its parents -- alternatively just think of it in the same way all the other n-dim stuff works).
