Robust Auto‑Layout Algorithms for the Netzgrafik Editor

Problem Statement

As Netzgrafik networks grow, the readability of Netzgrafik deteriorates. Existing auto‑layout mechanisms fail, requiring extensive manual rework that is time‑consuming and error‑prone.

Proposed Solution

Develop fast, robust auto‑layout algorithms that preserve network topology while improving visual clarity. The solution enables scalable, low‑effort visualization even for complex and evolving networks.
