Automatic re-positioning of graphical program nodes during node placement or node movement

摘要

A system and method for automatically re-positioning one or more nodes in a block diagram of a graphical program in response to a new node being displayed in the block diagram are described. A new node may be displayed at a first position in the block diagram in response to user input. One or more of the plurality of nodes already in the block diagram may be automatically re-positioned in response to displaying the new node at the first position. In other embodiments, a particular node in the block diagram may be moved from a first position to a second position in response to user input, and one or more of the other nodes may be automatically re-positioned in response to the user moving the node.
