Best layout for org chart with lots of child nodes

Hello,
I came across this Nevron Diagram while looking for a component to create org charts. I have a question regarding layouts. We have departments where managers have a lot of direct reports, let's say 20. Displaying regular horizontal tree with 20 boxes in one row doesn't look good. Does your component support arranging nodes with the same parent in two or more rows, so that no matter how many direct reports a manager has, the chart will always fit in the fixed-width area and nodes are laid out in multiple rows.

Thanks

Hello Sergey,
For your scenario, the best layout you can use is the Tip-Over Tree layout. This layout is good fit for Org charts and provides numerous options for the leaf placement. You can play with the layout properties to achieve the required result.

You can take a look at the Diagram examples: Layouts >> Tip-Over Tree Layout
