Axis Type

The simple type ST_AxisType defines how layout maps data to the diagram for a given point in the diagram. The different ways this can be mapped is as follows:

  • @self – the layout maps to the current data point

  • @ch – the layout node can map to the children of the current data point, but not to descendants lower in the hierarchy

  • @des – the layout node can map to a descendant of the current data point

  • @desOrSelf – the layout node can map the current data point, or to a descendant of the current data point

  • @par – the layout node maps to the parent data point

  • @ancst – the layout node can map to the ancestors of the current data point (parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc)

  • @ancstOrSelf – the layout node can map an ancestor data point or the current data point

  • @followSib – the layout node can map to a following sibling peer to the current data point

  • @precedSib – the layout node can map to a preceding sibling peer to the current data point.

  • @root – the layout node can map to the root

  • @none – the layout node doesn’t map to any data point
