Layout - Dell OpenManage Network Manager Client Manual

Layout

The layout tab lets you select and configure the type of automated node layout that appears in the
topology display.
Under CURRENT LAYOUT, use the pick list to select the type of layout. The fields and selectors
that appear below depend on the selection. Here are the available layouts, and the fields that go
with them:
Balloon
Balloon layouts display links between managed objects in a balloon tree
structure. The root is typically whatever device you have expanded or
drilled into.
You can specify the following in the settings for this layout:
Minimal nodes spacing– Use the slider to determine how close nodes
are to each other.
Child / Root angular sector (.o) –Use the slider to determine the
angular sector. The root sector determines how much of an arc
around that root the child nodes fill, and the child sector
determines the orientation around the child nodes.
Overlap avoidance method–Select Approximate or Deterministic.
