[Zest] New layout algorithm ? [message #733644]

In this figure, I have a horizontal tree on the left. There are some unconnected nodes on the right.
If I use the provided HorizontalTreeLayoutAlgorithm, these unconnected nodes will reside on the left. However, I want them to be on the right because I want to add edges from them to the nodes in the tree (these edges are in green).

Does I have to write a layout algorithm for this situation ?
Thank you very much.

I'm not sure I understand the issue - if you do add edges to the now unconnected nodes they will end up on the right...

That's correct. However, there is a situation that an unconnected node may have links to two or more nodes. Therefore, it will not end up on the right :-s
