Alignment of nodes having no links in LayeredDigraphLayout

Hello.

When using LayeredDigraphLayout, I want to know how to configure the alignment of nodes having no links.
I set the layout option like below.

	var diagram = $goJs(go.Diagram, diagramDivId,
	    	{
        		contentAlignment: go.Spot.Center,
	        	initialContentAlignment: go.Spot.Center,
	        	allowLink: true,
	        	allowMove: true,
	        	layout: $goJs(go.LayeredDigraphLayout,
		        		{
	        				direction : 90
		        		}
		        	)
	    	}
    	);

When I added some nodes on diagram, the nodes are lined up horizontally.
When I drag a line from node to node, the nodes having link are lined up vertically.

If I want to change the direction of node having no links, how can I do this?
Can you advice for me?


The nodes having no links are displayed like this.


The nodes having links are displayed like this.

Thanks.

Try using this custom LayeredDigraphLayout:

  function ArrangingLayeredDigraphLayout() {
    go.LayeredDigraphLayout.call(this);
    this.individuals = null;  // Nodes in layout whose LayoutVertexes did not have any connected LayoutEdges
  }
  go.Diagram.inherit(ArrangingLayeredDigraphLayout, go.LayeredDigraphLayout);

  ArrangingLayeredDigraphLayout.prototype.makeNetwork = function(coll) {
    var net = go.LayeredDigraphLayout.prototype.makeNetwork.call(this, coll);
    var singletons = new go.Set();
    net.vertexes.each(function(v) { if (v.edgesCount === 0) singletons.add(v); });
    singletons.each(function(v) { net.deleteVertex(v); });
    this.individuals = new go.Set().addAll(singletons.map(function(v) { return v.node; }));
    if (net.vertexes.count === 0) this.layoutIndividuals(net);
    return net;
  };

  ArrangingLayeredDigraphLayout.prototype.layoutIndividuals = function(net) {
    if (this.individuals !== null) {
      var parts = net.findAllParts();
      var bounds = this.diagram.computePartsBounds(parts);
      if (!bounds.isReal()) bounds = new go.Rect(this.arrangementOrigin, new go.Size(0, 0));
      var x = bounds.x;
      var y = bounds.bottom + 20;  // some vertical space between the main graph and the individual nodes
      var it = this.individuals.iterator;
      while (it.next()) {
        var node = it.value;
        node.moveTo(x, y);
        y += node.actualBounds.height + 20;  // increment Y by the node's height plus some space
      }
      this.individuals = null;
    }
  }

  ArrangingLayeredDigraphLayout.prototype.commitLayout = function() {
    go.LayeredDigraphLayout.prototype.commitLayout.call(this);  // call base method first
    this.layoutIndividuals(this.network);
  };

You could customize layoutIndividuals to position the unconnected nodes however you like. This code just puts them all vertically in the left column, with 20 space between the nodes.

Thanks for your fast reply.
Your reply solved my problem exactly.
I appreciate it.

Have a good day.
