[Scaffoldhunter-devel] Improving Molecule Cloud

[Anjenson <hot...@gm...>]

Hi everyone!

I am very sorry for being silent for such a long time. It's really tough 
time here as I got on the research project, that is referred to 
bioinformatics by the way.

But back to the deal, I have spent some time thinking about what can be 
changed in Molecule Cloud architecture in order to make it more 
intuitive. The only my idea is to integrate both StaticLayout and 
ForceLayout into Layout class. The reason is that the only differences 
between classes are

  *   the use of task queues when using StaticLayout and
  * grouping when using ForceLayout.

I think that, first of all, we shouldn't create the difference in 
functionality and, secodly, I think that there may be situations when 
force layouts may benefit from task queues.

Also in order not to make any one of you, who would like to implement 
new layout, wait while I finish this I just want to say that the 
implementation of new layout algorithms is completely independent from 
the part I intend to refactor. There are some guidelines in the manual 
and, please, fill free to ask me directly I will try to be as responsive 
as possible.
Just one more notice: it should be a preferred style to extend 
CloudLayouter.

With best regards,
     Andrew "Anjenson" Zhilka
