Snapping Vertices to a Grid

When the graph is laid out using one of the force-directed layout algorithms, it can sometimes be useful to refine the layout by snapping the vertices to the nearest locations on an imaginary grid. You can set the size of the grid, which is used only for snapping and is not visible.

To snap the graph's vertices to a grid:
  1. In the layout menu at the top of the Graph Pane (), select Snap Vertices to Grid.
To set the size of the snapping grid:
  1. In the layout menu at the top of the Graph Pane (), select Set Grid Size.
