Microsoft Automatic Graph Layout (MSAGL) is a .NET library for automatic graph layout. It was created by Lev Nachmanson at Microsoft Research.[1]

Earlier versions carried the name GLEE (Graph Layout Execution Engine).[2]

Contents[edit]

The MSAGL software supplies three programming libraries:

A trivial application is supplied to demonstrate the viewer.

Features[edit]

MSAGL performs layout based on principles of the Sugiyama scheme;[3] it produces so called layered, or hierarchical, layouts (according to the MSAGL home page). Modified Coffman–Graham scheduling algorithm is then used to find a layout that would fit in a given space. More detailed description of the algorithm can be found in U.S. patent 7,932,907.

At some time, it did not support a wide range of different layout algorithms, unlike, for instance, GraphVizorGUESS.

It does not appear to support incremental layout.[4]

Availability and licensing[edit]

MSAGL is distributed under MIT License as open source at GitHub.[5]
