Re: Location of nodes, edges in Network Monitoring Demo about yfiles-for-html-demos

Yes, of course there is a way to do this automatically. In fact the only reason this hasn't been done in this demo is because at that time we were creating demos that should also work with a package that does not use the automatic layouts.
But indeed, you can use the OrganicLayout algorithm to compute these values/the layout of the diagram after loading your graph from the database. This is also what we did when we created the demo originally.

So right after you have loaded your data, you can do graphComponent.graph.applyLayout(new OrganicLayout()) or graphComponent.morphLayout(new OrganicLayout()) to get a nice initial layout, automatically.

Note that as a user of the library, you can/should use the support backend at https://my.yworks.com to ask for help. This will get you faster and more accurate responses. Thanks!
