Options

In this page are reported all the options available to tune GILA. To override one of them, open the layout.sh or partitioning.sh (options for the latter have ‘partitioning’ on their name) script according to the option(s) to override with a text editor and add the following to the command options (without square brackets):

-ca [option title]=[option value]

option	type	default	description
layout.flooding.ttlMax	int	3	The maximum time to live of a message during the layout phase.
layout.limit	int	1000	The maximum number of layout supersteps (does not include the pre-process and post process stages).

option	type	default	description
reintegration.radius	float	0,2	The multiplying factor used when computing the length of the one degree vertices. It is used with the dynamic radius option.
reintegration.dynamicRadius	boolean	TRUE	If is set to TRUE then the one-degree vertices edge length will be computed as a fraction of the shortest edge of the neighboring vertex. If set to FALSE, it will be computed as a fraction of the ideal edge length.
reintegration.coneWidth	float	90,0	If the reintegrating class is ConeReintegrateOneEdges this value is used as the width of the cone (in degrees) in which arrange the one degree vertices for each vertex.
reintegration.anglePadding	float	2,0	When arranging the one degree vertices into a circular sector, this value is used as padding.
reintegration.reintegratingClass	String	FairShareReintegrateOneEdges	The one degree vertices reintegration class to use.
reintegration.componentPadding	float	20,0	The padding in pixels between the connected components when arranged in the table.
reintegration.fairLowThreshold	float	2,0	When the default reintegration method is used, this value represents the smallest circular sector angle (in degrees) in which vertices will be arranged. Narrower sectors will be skipped.

option	type	default	description
layout.node_length	float	20,0	Length of the vertex bubble. Note that the ideal spring length is computed as node_separation+square(node_length+node_width).
layout.node_width	float	20,0	Width of the vertex bubble. Note that the ideal spring length is computed as node_separation+square(node_length+node_width).
layout.node_separation	float	20,0	Chosen vertex separation. Note that the ideal spring length is computed as node_separation+square(node_length+node_width).
layout.initialTempFactor	float	0,4	To compute the initial temperature, for each component a value obtained from the dimensions of the initial layout is split by this number.
layout.coolingSpeed	float	0,94	At each iteration, the temperature at the previous superstep will be multiplied by this value to obtain the temperature at the current superstep.
layout.walshawModifier	float	0,052	Repulsive forces moderation constant.
layout.accuracy	float	0,01	Minimum vertex displacement.
layout.convergence-threshold	float	0,9	The needed percentage of vertices who moved below the accuracy setting such that the equilibrium stage is reached.
layout.forceModel	string	FR	The force model to use. Another option is LinLog.
layout.forceModel.extraOptions	string	“”	Comma separated values to pass to the force model builder. The default force models do not need any.
layout.repulsiveForceModerationFactor	float	NONE	If set, all repulsive forces will be mitigated by this factor. Otherwise, the repulsive forces mitigation factor will be computed as k^2 times walshawFactor.

option	type	default	description
partitioning.input.bBox.X	float	1200	If a random placement is selected, this value represents the width of the bounding box of the random layout.
partitioning.input.bBox.Y	float	1200	If a random placement is selected, this value represents the height of the bounding box of the random layout.
partitioning.input.doRandomizeCoordinates	boolean	TRUE	If set to true, the initial layout will be randomized; otherwise the coordinates read from the input file will be used.
partitioning.output.showComponent	boolean	TRUE	Whether or not to display the component of each vertex in the output of the partition phase. Useful for debugging the pre-process stage, deactivating it will produce an output not compatible with the layout algorithm.
partitioning.pruneOneDegrees	boolean	TRUE	Whether or not prune the one degree vertices from the input graph during the pre-process stage.

option	type	default	description
layout.output.showPartitioning	boolean	FALSE	Whether or not to display the partition of each vertex in the output.
layout.output.showComponent	boolean	TRUE	Whether or not to display the connected component of each vertex in the output.
