When defining a theme for the Alloy Visualizer, there is the option for a relation to "Influence Layout". Normally, when p->q
is an edge in the relation r
, the layout places p
above q
, with the r
-edge pointing downwards. I would expect that turning off "Influence Layout" for r
would allow p
and q
to occupy the same level in the graph, so that the r
-edge could point horizontally. But this never happens. Indeed, I have never observed the "Influence Layout" checkmark to have any effect at all. What does it do?
