Layouts for Directed/Undirected Graphs

[nexusnew]

Hi everyone,

As I have found out that some layouts are suitable only for undirected graphs (e.g. Fruchterman Reingold).
My question is what happens if I apply a layout for undirected graphs to a directed graph? What does this change in the layout?

Is there any certain rule like if a layout is designed for undirected graphs, it should not be used for directed graphs?

Look forward to getting some answers on this.

Thanks!!

Hi,

With layouts designed for undirected graphs, your directed graphs will be treated as if they were undirected.
