Left to Right Layout

[stwinn]

Is there a layout algorithm that orders the nodes according to the direction of the edges, so that the finished product is a left-to-right layout of my nodes.

My hope is to have columns or clouds of origin nodes, their first connections in a column to the right, then to the right a column of second degree connections from the origin, etc.

I don't know of such a layout algorithm for Gephi. However, I can see that it would have some interesting applications. It might have difficulties under certain conditions, too, and be unable to achieve a clean and readable layout.

It would be great if someone developed a layout algorithm for it.
