Auto Layout
The main problem of paper form organizational charts implementation is sparse items distribution on layout, so large gaps between items make chart hard to overview and navigate. Sometimes chart is so big that it has huge screen size blank areas between items. This issue makes useless the whole idea of visualizing organizational chart. At the same time computer UI allows to scale hierarchy and fit it into screen, but in that case items become small and unreadable. The primary goal of this Organizational chart implementation is to resolve these issues and make good use of them. Widget finds the best way to display large hierarchies within available screen space without or with minimal scrolling not affecting usability.
- Shape of hierarchy visualization. Widget auto folds as many items as needed in order to fit chart into available space. It produces zoom out affect.
- Easy navigation between branches and within parent stack of cursor item. Current cursor item, its children and all parents up to the root of hierarchy are always shown in their full size. It is local zoom in affect.
- Visualization of mutual relationship between two or more items in hierarchy. All selected items are always displayed in their full size and since all other items would be auto-folded it allows to show items from different branches side by side within available screen space.
