Change default value of layout in view_model of CausalModel #1042

Closed bloebp closed 11 months ago

Changing the value from "dot" to None. The current default value requires the dot extension to be installed. However, if it is not installed, an error is raised. By default, this should not happen since it is an optional dependency.
