Hi,
I'd like to know wheter there is any possibility to let Zest compute the
optimal size for the layouted graph instead of passing the required size
in the applyLayout() method.
The problem with the specification of a concrete size is that it depends
of the number of elements and the selected layouting algorithm, so it is
not possible to do this automatically without manual adjustments by the
user.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Ian,
thanks for your answer. I've entered the request in bugzilla (261163).
