Automatic node layout about nodegraphqt HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks, That does sounds really useful but the node graph is still very much a work in progress, it'll be a while before something like that will be implemented but will keep it in mind 😺 .

Cheers,

Currently we can use L or Ctrl+L to layout nodes.

Having multiple de/serialisation strategies could be quite cool for this, for example a long winded method could be:

• writing out the graph with pydot into a DOT file
• use graphvis's dot program to do the layout for you
• re-load a graph from the DOT source code, or just read the position attributes

The above is perhaps not that practical really, but by supporting DOT it would allow some interesting interopability with other packages like networkx (Although this is now going beyond this issue)

@ArnoChenFx I've read the docs and found no mention of CTRL+L or L binding for the layout function... Can you please show an example?
