what are the constraints for the layout? does the graph need to be a tree or oriented graph? I have a graph for transitive maven dependencies, this graph has one root, no cycles but a single node can have 2 parents.
this is the first iteration of this layout. This layout will go into the trunk without the ability to layout a cyclic graph. It will handle multiple roots, but no cycles. This will be fixed by creating a quasi-hierarchical layout when this state occurs.
hi, I contributed a prototype of a hierarchical layout algorithm (Sugiyama style) for arbitrary graphs about a year ago, as far as I can see it is not in the newly created mercurial repository. currently we have an undergraduate student assigned to improve and test this implementation. are you still interested in this contribution?
thomas_wuerthinger: i'm definitely interested.
