sigma.layout.noverlap
========================
Plugin developed by [Andrew Pitts](https://github.com/apitts) and published under the [MIT](LICENSE) license. Original algorithm by [Mathieu Jacomy](https://github.com/jacomyma) and ported to sigma.js with permission.
---
This plugin runs an algorithm which distributes nodes in the network, ensuring that they do not overlap and providing a margin where specified.
## Methods
**configure**
Changes the layout's configuration.
```js
var listener = s.configNoverlap(config);
```
**start**
Starts the layout. It is possible to pass a configuration if this is the first time you start the layout.
```js
s.startNoverlap();
```
**isRunning**
Returns whether the layout is running.
```js
s.isNoverlapRunning();
```
## Configuration
* **nodes**: *array*: the subset of nodes to apply the layout.
*Algorithm configuration*
* **nodeMargin**: *number* `5.0`: The additional minimum space to apply around each and every node.
* **scaleNodes**: *number* `1.2`: A multiplier to apply to nodes such that larger nodes will have more space around them if this multiplier is greater than zero.
* **gridSize**: *integer* `20`: The number of rows and columns to use when dividing the nodes up into cells which the algorithm is applied to. Use more rows and columns for larger graphs for a more efficient algorithm.
* **permittedExpansion** *number* `1.1`: At every step, this is the maximum ratio to apply to the bounding box, i.e. the maximum by which the network is permitted to expand.
* **rendererIndex** *integer* `0`: The index of the renderer to use to compute overlap and collisions of the nodes.
* **speed** *number* `2`: A larger value increases the speed with which the algorithm will convergence at the cost of precision.
* **maxIterations** *number* `500`: The maximum number of iterations to run the algorithm for before stopping it.
*Easing configuration*
* **easing** *string*: if specified, ease the transition between nodes positions if background is `true`. The duration is specified by the Sigma settings `animationsTime`. See [sigma.utils.easing](../../src/utils/sigma.utils.js#L723) for available values.
* **duration** *number*: duration of the transition for the easing method. Default value is Sigma setting `animationsTime`.
## Events
The plugin dispatches the following events:
- `start`: on layout start.
- `interpolate`: at the beginning of the layout animation if an *easing* function is specified and the layout is ran on background.
- `stop`: on layout stop, will be dispatched after `interpolate`.
Example:
```js
s = new sigma({
graph: g,
container: 'graph-container'
});
var config = {
nodeMargin: 3.0,
scaleNodes: 1.3
};
// Configure the algorithm
var listener = s.configNoverlap(config);
// Bind all events:
listener.bind('start stop interpolate', function(event) {
console.log(event.type);
});
// Start the algorithm:
s.startNoverlap();
```
