IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28

The simplest overloads of the Observed, Unobserved and Caption methods place objects at random positions in the path diagram. The Reposition method attempts to improve the appearance of the path diagram by rearranging objects.

pd.Reposition ()

Remarks

The Reposition method does not produce path diagrams of presentation quality. Far from it, in fact. On the other hand, Reposition usually improves a path diagram's appearance substantially.

In order to get objects in the path diagram sized and positioned exactly the way you want, you can use one of the following approaches.

Specify a height, width and location each time you use one of the Observed, Unobserved or Caption methods.

or

In your plugin use the Reposition method to improve the positioning of objects. Then after running your plugin use the drawing tools in the Amos Graphics toolbox to interactively move and resize the objects in the path diagram.
