Algorithm to display rectangles

Thread view: 
vicky - 14 Jun 2006 08:30 GMT
Hi All!

 I am drawing a figure for Data Modelling Diagram which is containing
number of rectangles and lines which are connecting them. I am using
SWT's draw2d.
I have calculate position of rectangles and start/end ing point of
lines so that they should not coincide or overlapped on each other.
In case of less no of rectangles it works fine but when i have great
number of rectangles then rectangles get overlapped and lines get
coincide on each other.

So, could anyone help me out to give any algorithm/suggestion to sort
out my problem??

Regards,
Zia

The problem is difficult and no general solution satisfying all possible
requirements is known. You might e.g. give that book a try:
