graph: use dagre for initial positioning not constraints #24

Open aspiers opened 9 years ago

Specifying constraints for row grouping and ordering seems a bit too inflexible to give webcola room to find a really good layout, so maybe it would be better to use dagre just to calculate the initial layout and then allow webcola to do the rest. This is probably needed anyway in order to take advantage of dagre's suggested ordering within each row.
