If a new layout is calculated for a graph and if animation of
layout phases is turned on, the nodes move smoothly from their initial positions
in the layout to the newly calculated ones, enabling the user to keep visual
track of layout changes. The
graph attribute amax: Int
specifies the maximum number of animation steps. This number can be changed
interactively in the View dialog box.
Specifying 0 means animation is turned off.
The following command line options are available:
-amax Int specifies the maximum number of animation steps-tanim animates the layer partitioning phase-canim animates the crossing reduction heuristics-panim animates the positioning heuristics (normal mode)-epanim animates the positioning heuristics (extended mode)
