Auto Layout Methods

Select a Layout Method
as follows:

Method	Explanation
Grid (default)	Objects can branch both to the right/left (or top/bottom) but the layout does not optimize for available slack space. A row or column is the maximum width of any object in that row or column.
Tree	Objects can branch both to the right/left (or top/bottom) and the layout tries to use available slack space.
Hierarchy	Objects align in an outline with one main trunk and branches extend to the right
