5 Manipulating Graphs

5.5 Displaying different graph layouts

As already mentioned, graphs are laid out from left to right by default, but they can be laid out in any orientation you want.

Choose Graph Layout > Layout Left to Right to layout a graph from the left of the screen to the right, as shown in Figure 5.5. This is the default orientation for every graph in the environment.
