Recursive Layering

Meaning

The Recursive Layering indicates a direct or indirect recursive layering. For example, in a routine call layer diagram this shows a recursive call.

Utilization

Control Points

A ) moves the top right corner B ) defines only the vertical position of the bottom left corner

Hints

Connection Order

Put any recursive layering below normal layering connections. This makes the layout clearer because element B depends on A, therefore the connection from A to B should be above the recursive connection of B. If you think of it as a routine call layering, you see that the recursive call of B can only happen after routine A has called B.
