Options not working

[mafar]

can u explain how do i use options from http://www.eclipse.org/elk/reference/
I tried setting direction of chart using
http://www.eclipse.org/elk/reference/options/org-eclipse-elk-direction.html

layout: {
              name: 'elk',
              fit: true,
              elk: {
                direction: 'top',
              },
            }

But nothing happens

All good?

[mafar]

yes had to use

elk: {
                'elk.direction': 'UP',
 },

saw from here kieler/elkjs#27
plz update documentation so it can help others.

options need to be in format

elk:{
      "elk.algorithm": "layered",
      "elk.direction": "RIGHT",
      "elk.padding": "[top=25,left=25,bottom=25,right=25]",
      "elk.spacing.componentComponent": 25,
      "elk.layered.spacing.nodeNodeBetweenLayers": 25,
      "elk.edgeLabels.inline": true,
      "elk.edgeRouting": "SPLINES"
    }

Please update doc where it says
// All options are available at http://www.eclipse.org/elk/reference.html
// 'org.eclipse.elk.' can be dropped from the Identifier
// Or look at demo.html for an example.

and write some exampleshere like above for new ones to understand

[mafar]

demo is not working as well

[jfstephe]

Please raise separate issue for demo.html (I thought it was working), with details.

Is it the specificity of the property name or the casing in the property value that caused you problems?

[mafar]

specificity of the property name .. let me write u text wait

[mafar]

// All options are available at http://www.eclipse.org/elk/reference/options.html
 // 'org.eclipse.' can be dropped from the Identifier
 //  for example to change layout option as per doc http://www.eclipse.org/elk/reference/options/org-eclipse-elk-algorithm.html
 //  Identifier is  org.eclipse.elk.algorithm , so use { 'elk.algorithm' : 'box'}
 // 
 // Enums use the name of the enum e.g. 'searchOrder': 'DFS'
//
