Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`alignArticulatedEdges()`
`LV<V>[][]`	`createVirtualVerticesAndEdges(List<LE<V,E>> edges, List<List<LV<V>>> layers)`	Add new Synthethic vertices to replace edges that 'jump' more than one layer with a chain of edges that connect each layer.
`List<ArticulatedEdge<V,E>>`	`makeArticulatedEdges()`	Post processing function to turn a chain of synthetic edges into one articulated edge where the old synthetic vertices become the articulation points in the new articulated edge.

  - createVirtualVerticesAndEdges
```
public LV<V>[][] createVirtualVerticesAndEdges(List<LE<V,E>> edges,
                                               List<List<LV<V>>> layers)
```
    Add new Synthethic vertices to replace edges that 'jump' more than one layer with a chain of edges that connect each layer. The synthetic vertices wil become articulation points of long bendy edges in the final graph rendering.
    
    Parameters:
    
    edges - all edges
    
    layers - all horizontal layers for a layered graph
    
    Returns:
    
    updated array of layers to include synthetic vertices
  - makeArticulatedEdges
```
public List<ArticulatedEdge<V,E>> makeArticulatedEdges()
```
    Post processing function to turn a chain of synthetic edges into one articulated edge where the old synthetic vertices become the articulation points in the new articulated edge. Find an edge with a target that is a synthetic vertex. Follow the edge until the non-synthetic target is reached, saving the intermediate synthetic vertices to a list (to delete outside of loop) add each synthetic edge to a list of edges to delete (outside of loop)
