how to use static layout in graphstream

Question

I would like to generate static graph use GraphStream. Is there any suggestion solutions?

I read input data from DGS file (generated from other model). Because the number of nodes is not fix every time and I don't want to manually specify each position of each node. Currently I can use the autolayout function to place the nodes and the result is OK, but the problem is: each node can be moved if you click the node and drag it. Is there any way to generate the graph use autolayout, and the node is un-draggable at the same time?

Thanks in advance!

In order to prevent user interaction with the default viewer, you need to specify a new MouseManager, in the default View, that actually does nothing.

Since you cannot set a null MouseManager (it would spawn the default one), you need to create a new class that basically does nothing and give it to the View.

A dirty way of doing it:

graph.display()
    .getDefaultView()
    .setMouseManager(new MouseManager(){
        @Override
        public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {}
        @Override
        public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {}
        @Override
        public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {}
        @Override
        public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {}
        @Override
        public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}
        @Override
        public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {}
        @Override
        public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {}
        @Override
        public void init(GraphicGraph graph, View view) {}
        @Override
        public void release() {}
    });
