### Renderer
|
||||
|
||||
The layout of the diagram is done with the renderer. The default renderer is dagre.
|
||||
The layout of the diagram is handled by [`render()`](../config/setup/mermaid/interfaces/Mermaid.md#render). The default layout is dagre.
|
||||
|
||||
You can opt to use an alternate renderer named elk by editing the configuration. The elk renderer is better for larger and/or more complex diagrams.
|
||||
For larger or more-complex diagrams, you can alternatively apply the ELK (Eclipse Layout Kernel) layout using your YAML frontmatter's `config`. For more information, see [Customizing ELK Layout](../intro/syntax-reference.md).

Your Mermaid code should be similar to the following:
|
||||
|
||||
``````mermaid-example
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
---
|
||||
title: Order example
|
||||
config:
|
||||
layout: elk
|
||||
---
|
||||
erDiagram
|
||||
CUSTOMER ||--o{ ORDER : places
|
||||
ORDER ||--|{ LINE-ITEM : contains
|
||||
CUSTOMER }|..|{ DELIVERY-ADDRESS : uses
|
||||
```
|
||||
``````
|
||||
|
||||
```note
|
||||
Note that the site needs to use mermaid version 9.4+ for this to work and have this featured enabled in the lazy-loading configuration.
|
||||
```
