Generic features and parameters of the LL

The ibm_ilog.graphlayout.shortlink.ShortLinkLayout and ibm_ilog.graphlayout.longlink.LongLinkLayout classes support the following generic parameters as defined in the class ibm_ilog.graphlayout.GraphLayout (see Base class parameters and features):
The following comments describe the particular way in which these parameters are used by this subclass.

Allowed time (LL)

The layout algorithm stops if the allowed time setting has elapsed. (For a description of this layout parameter in the ibm_ilog.graphlayout.GraphLayout class, see Allowed time.) If the layout stops early because the allowed time has elapsed, some links might not be routed in the best possible way. The result code in the layout report is ibm_ilog.graphlayout.GraphLayoutReport.STOPPED_AND_INVALID.

Preserve fixed links (LL)

The layout algorithm does not reshape the links that are specified as fixed, see Preserve fixed links. The fixed links are taken into account when computing the optimal layout of the nonfixed links.

Stop immediately (LL)

The layout algorithm stops if the method stopImmediately is called.
For a description of this method, see Stop immediately. If the layout stops early, some links might not be routed in the best possible way.
The result code in the layout report is ibm_ilog.graphlayout.GraphLayoutReport.STOPPED_AND_INVALID.
