public class ForceDirectedLayout : DiagramLayout, IDiagramLayout

Remarks

The graph is viewed as a system of bodies with forces acting between the bodies. The algorithm seeks a configuration of the bodies with locally minimal energy, i.e., a position such that the sum of the forces on each body is zero.

Although this class inherits from FrameworkElement in order to support data binding, it is not really a FrameworkElement or UIElement! Please ignore all of the properties, methods, and events defined by FrameworkElement and UIElement.
