Layout will require the following functionality from
Aggressive UI:

dialog box to query the user for preferences/priorities
  in creating a new layout for the UML graph:
  take into account tags?
  prioritize:
    minimize connection intersections
    minimize connection lengths

message box to report any errors found


Layout does not need this functionality from Aggressive
UI in order to run properly. In the event that such
functionality is not available from Aggressive UI, Layout
can assume defaults or be compiled with manual settings
to test different user preferences.


tpham:
After reviewing UI decisions made by the UI team, all
of the interactive requirements for Aggressive UI will
be moved up to the responsibility of Passive UI. The
priorities specifications for layout will become non-
user-selectable; they will be built into the module. This
will simplify development of the Layout module and improve
user-friendliness by requiring less technical input from the
user.
