Re: [igraph] Recommended values for Kamada-Kawai layout

[Gábor Csárdi]

Hi Matthew,

good point. Actually, for Python and R we have default values for all
layout generators, please see e.g.
http://igraph.sourceforge.net/doc/R/layout.html and
http://igraph.sourceforge.net/doc/R/layout.drl.html

But you are right, for C the default values should be documented. If
you wish to do this, the best way is downloading the latest igraph
version from Launchpad, or in your case a couple of files, such as
src/layout.c should be enough, updating the files, and sending a patch
with the changes.
You can download the individual files here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~igraph/igraph/0.6-main/files/head:/src/

Please tell me if anything is unclear. Thanks, best,
Gabor
