Options for the Auto Layout Settings in Umbrello UML Modeller

Auto detect layout generator

The auto layout feature depends on layout generators provided by the GraphViz package, which is normally installed alongside Umbrello by a package manager. Umbrello has built-in support for detecting the installed location of these layout generators. For cases where this dependency is not available or does not fit, a different installation path could be selected.

Show export layout in diagram context menu

Dot file export is performed by using the export layout. With this option checked, the export layout is added to the list of available diagram layouts and enables a quick dot export preview.
