[Feature Request] Control edge length and "springiness" #321

Open kmcginnes opened 7 months ago

Description

Some way to control edge length and "springiness" would really help when there are a lot of nodes and edges to display.

Consider an airport connected to 250 other airports, the screen display can get very dense.

Edge length and springiness is the domain of graph layout algorithms. We'll need to investigate what customization options are available in each layout we use.

We may also investigate writing our own layout algorithm.
