ElectricalCharge Method

Returns the charge of the point representing the GoLayoutForceDirectedNode node. A node L and a node V are acted upon by a force of magnitude (ElectricalCharge(L) * ElectricalCharge(V)) / (GetNodeDistance(L,V) * GetNodeDistance(L,V)). A node L is acted upon by forces in the X and Y directions of magnitude ElectricalFieldX(L.position) * ElectricalCharge(L) and ElectricalFieldY(L.position) * ElectricalCharge(L).

Parameters

node

Return Value

Returns the charge of the node, normally the value of DefaultElectricalCharge, unless the value of GoLayoutForceDirectedNode.Charge had already been set, in which case it just returns that value.
