DESCRIPTION

INTERFACE

Instantiates a new balanced layout. This code assigns Gtk2::Ex::MindMapView::Item objects to columns based on their relationships to each other as determined by the Gtk2::Ex::MindMapView::Graph argument.

layout()

Places the items in the balanced layout on the canvas. This code determines the width of the columns in which the Gtk2:Ex::MindMapView::Items are placed, and positions the items appropriately on the canvas.
