Layout controls
There are two options for the automatic layout of nodes. Symmetric
mode gives each subtree of a host an equal-sized slice of the
graph. It shows
the network hierarchy well but hosts far from the
center can be squeezed close together. Weighted mode gives hosts
with more children a larger
piece of the graph.
View controls
The checkboxes in the “View” section enable and
disable parts of the display. For example, disable
“hostname” to show only an IP address for
each
host, or disable “address” to use no labels at
all. The “latency” option enables and disables
the display of the round-trip times to each host,
as determined by
Nmap's --traceroute option. If
“slow in/out” is checked, the animation
will not be linear, but will go faster in the middle of
the
animation and slower at the beginning and end.
