ABSTRACT:
Wrapping nodes in a drawing canvas may be provided. A plurality of nodes may be received and a location to wrap the plurality of nodes may be determined. The location may be between two consecutive nodes in the plurality of nodes. Furthermore, a direction may be determined to place a first subset of the plurality of nodes comprising at least one node in the plurality of nodes and being subsequent to the determined location. The plurality of nodes may be balanced using at least one of the following: i) placing nodes within the plurality of nodes to an end of available space within the drawing canvas; ii) placing a first predetermined number of nodes of the plurality of nodes per row; and iii) evenly spacing a second predetermined number of nodes of the plurality of nodes.
