PtolemyLayoutAction

java.lang.Object
- ptolemy.vergil.basic.PtolemyLayoutAction

All Implemented Interfaces:

IGuiAction
```
public class PtolemyLayoutAction
extends java.lang.Object
implements IGuiAction
```
Trigger the Ptolemy place and route automatic dataflow layout algorithm from withing the Vergil GUI. Operate on the current model, hence the model needs to be an input in the doAction() method.
The Ptolemy layout mechanism produces layouts that are not as good as the Kieler layout mechanism, so use the @see KielerLayoutMechanism.

Ptolemy II 10.0
