a user can choose to have the editor
automatically layout everything on screen to make it cleaner.
This kind of functionality is common among UML tools.
Does the GEF provide something here to get me started or is there a plan=

for it ?
Also I was wondering is there a ShortestPath/Manhattan hybrid out there.=
What I was looking for was lines that only go horizontal and vertical bu=

also go around objects.
Any there ?..even make sense ?

minimum bends/crossings.
We would like to provide this, but we don't have any ideas to base the
implementation off. If you know of any research which addresses this,
append the URL to a bugzilla.
