Abstract

The Eclipse Layout Kernel (ELK) is an open-source framework written in Java, which is transpiled to the JavaScript library elkjs. ELK provides extensible and modular algorithms, visibility for diagramming research, and has an active community. The ELK project is both a validation platform for graph drawing algorithm researchers, and a freely available library put in production use to provide automatic layout for academic and commercial applications.
The report [S. Domrös et al., 2023] presents an overview of the available algorithms, the development history, related publications, as well as lessons learned from developing the open-source framework. ELK welcomes new users as well as new contributors.
