“…These stereotypes are specified by a fuzzy visual language. Layout by interactive example is a complementary approach using interaction to specify layout constraints [2], [11], [16]. Constraint hypergraph grammars [12] are used to specify the synthetic structure and layout requirements of diagram in a consistent way.…”

Automatic layout can be a crucial support feature for complex diagramming tools. Adding suitable layout algorithms to diagramming tools is a complex task and meta-tools should incorporate these for reuse. We present MaramaALM, a generalised set of automatic layout mechanisms. This has been incorporated in the Eclipsebased Marama meta-toolset to support automatic layout in Marama diagrams. It provides an easy-to-use mechanism for tool developers to add such layouts to their generated tools. We describe our motivation for MaramaALM, our approach to its implementation and an example case study of using these tool extensions.
