Lay out nodes inside a container

You can adjust the layout of the nodes inside an expanded container the same way you adjust the layout of nodes in the rest of the Hypergraph. However, note that each container’s individual layout is independent of the Hypergraph and other containers’ layouts. Thus, you can have multiple containers each with different internal layouts.

To change the layout of a container

1. In the Hypergraph Connections editor or the Hypershade, -click the border of the container.
2. Select Layout Container from the pop-up menu.
3. Choose a layout for the container from the list that appears.

   For the full list of graph layouts, see the Options Menu in the Hypergraph overview.
