Traditional implementations of the Sugiyama algorithm optimize aesthetic criteria such as the number of backward edges, edge length, or edge crossings. If we, however, utilize the model order, as provided e.g. by a textual graph input file, we can determine the topology of a Sugiyama layout in a one-pass algorithm while controlling the secondary notation and with it the intention expressed by the underlying model, which typically cannot be captured by layout algorithms.
