SQL Dependency Tracker - 2.7
Laying out the diagram - SQL Dependency Tracker
SQL Dependency Tracker offers a number of layouts so that you can choose the most appropriate for your diagram:
- Balloon Tree groups objects together in balloon-like clusters
This is a fast layout, which is good for grouping related objects together. It is suitable for diagrams that contain a large number of objects.
- Hierarchic organizes the objects in a hierarchical structure, from top to bottom
- Orthogonal places objects so that the connections between the objects are straight lines that are as close to vertical and horizontal as possible
The objects form small clusters. This is ideal for diagrams that contain a small number of objects.
- Smart Organic links objects into sets of clouds or lattices
This layout is good for grouping related objects together.
- Circular lays the objects out to form the boundaries of circles, with connections that cross the centre of the circle
Using layouts
When you add objects to your diagram, SQL Dependency Tracker automatically arranges them using the current layout. You can then change the layout by using the Layout box on the toolbar.
![]()
To reapply the current layout, for example if you have hidden or moved some objects, click
Reapply Layout.
