Add feature for automatic layouts #39

Open akatriel opened 7 months ago

akatriel commented 7 months ago

Automatic layouts would be very useful for programmatically created graphs. I've been looking into https://github.com/KeRNeLith/QuikGraph with https://github.com/KeRNeLith/GraphShape for my own implementation. Is there any plans to add this in the future?

Is there a preview of how that would "look like"? I skimmed through the provided links but I can't see a screenshot for it so I can understand what it does.

It all depends on the layout algorithm used. My personal use case involves a Directed Acyclic Graph and I used the Sugiyama Layout to get something like this.
