Dagre Layout is an appropriate layout method for directed flow graph. It will calculate the levels and positions of nodes automatically according to the edge directions in the data.

## Usage

As the demo below, you can deploy it in `layout` while instantiating Graph. it can also be used for [Subgraph Layout](/en/docs/manual/middle/layout/sub-layout). By tuning the parameters, you can adjust the layout direction, node alignment, node separation, level separation, and so on.

- Example 1 : Simple dagre layout.
- Example 2 : Dagre Layout with combos.
- Example 3 : Dagre layout from left to right and align top.
- Example 4 : Dagre layout from left to right.
- Example 5 : Translate the layout parameters in dynamic.
