The graph shows the relationships between assets. It only presents the assets related to those selected on the main screen, or all the assets if nothing is selected.
Assets are heuristically positioned so that there is no relation going upwards: all dependencies go from top to bottom. However, if the picture is unpleasant, the user may reposition assets as desired (drag and drop on boxes).
Currently PILAR includes two automatic positioning algorithms (cleverly named (1) and (2)). The only difference is in the automatic positioning of the assets.
The graph tracks the selection on the main dependencies screen. So, if you select an asset, a group or a layer, only the assets in the group and those direct or indirectly linked will appear in the picture.
