All I know is that the classic Fruchterman-Reingold algorithm doesn't work (that's what is implemented now). I have some heuristic ideas that might work, but haven't had the time to try them out.

It's tiresome, and I wished...

I have been aware of Flatpak and Snap formats for some time, but didn't seriously pursue them: partly because they are not as efficient as native packages, in that they require bundling dependent dynamic libs, and partly because...
