Hi Andrew,
thank you very much for being willing to improve your code and to answer
questions on layout implementation. We plan to release a new version of
Scaffold Hunter without the Molecule Cloud view soon and will then try to add
more efficient layout algorithms before your code is merged back into trunk.
Please let us know when the refactoring is done.
Regards,
Nils
