Filtered view with autolayout

[maldworth]

I have some groups for components and I want to show them independently in filtered views. Everything works, except when you have a large number of components, the autolayout only applies on the original view, not the filtered. So it can leave large white space/blanks in the canvas.

Is there any way to address this?

See example of my problem here:

workspace {

    model {
        a = softwareSystem "A" {
            tags "Tag 1"
            c1 = container "C1" {
                group1 = group "Group 1" {
                    
                    comp1 = component "comp1" {
                        tags "group1"
                    }
                    comp11 = component "comp11" {
                        tags "group1"
                    }
                    comp111 = component "comp111" {
                        tags "group1"
                    }
                    comp1111 = component "comp1111" {
                        tags "group1"
                    }
                    comp11111 = component "comp11111" {
                        tags "group1"
                    }
                }
                group2 = group "Group 2" {
                    
                    comp2 = component "comp2" {
                        tags "group2"
                    }
                    comp22 = component "comp22" {
                        tags "group2"
                    }
                    comp222 = component "comp222" {
                        tags "group2"
                    }
                    comp2222 = component "comp2222" {
                        tags "group2"
                    }
                    comp22222 = component "comp22222" {
                        tags "group2"
                    }
                }
            }
            database = container "DB" {
                tags "Database"
            }
        }
        
        comp1 -> database
        comp11 -> database
        comp111 -> database
        comp1111 -> database
        comp11111 -> database
        
        comp2 -> database
        comp22 -> database
        comp222 -> database
        comp2222 -> database
        comp22222 -> database
    }
    
    views {
        
        systemContext a "sys" {
            include *
            autolayout
        }
        
        container a "a" {
            include *
            autolayout
        }
        
        component c1 "c1" {
            include *
            autolayout
        }
        
        filtered "c1" include "group1,Database,Relationship" "c11"
        filtered "c1" include "group2,Database,Relationship" "c12"
    }
        
}

Filtered views are designed to share a layout, so this is working as expected -> https://docs.structurizr.com/ui/diagrams/filtered-view

Perhaps just use a regular component view with include "element.tag==group1" instead? (see https://docs.structurizr.com/dsl/expressions for more).
