Autoarrange Nodes #50

Closed MagnetoOptical closed 4 years ago

MagnetoOptical commented 5 years ago

Finally, a thought/mind/process mapping tool that is really easy to use and doesn't use Java! Thank you!

A feature to auto-arrange nodes would be amazing. I'm working with a new school utilizing heavy automation and my current project has been greatly augmented by this too.
I'm working on a map right now which shows the relationships of services and resources offered by our infrastructure and the OpenStack services that make them possible. I've only just begun and this thing is getting pretty hairy.

You're welcome :)

I've been thinking of something like that. Any suggestions on how that would work?

Hey, I cannot tell you how the things are done there, but as an idea of possible methods you could look at yed. They really have nice features for this option which are missing in all other software I have seen so far.

I wrote a prototype method of auto arrange some time ago, but couldn't decide if that was cool or crap :) Maybe I'll look into that again when I have time. At least that branch should be rebased on the current master.

I have been working on this for a pretty long time and now I think the first version is finally somewhat useful. Implemented in dcac559fb6d79a91eb4d0738f513e4e86f7fa800.
