Ask HN: Are There Any Layered Graph Layout Algorithms in Active Development?

2 pointsby natelessover 2 years ago
Hello,<p>I&#x27;ve been researching layered graph algorithms, but it appears that this market is mostly inactive at the moment.<p>Dagre (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dagrejs&#x2F;dagre) is considered outdated, with a codebase from 2015 that is no longer being updated, although they still accept some pull requests.<p>KLAY (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kieler&#x2F;klayjs) has been succeeded by ELK, and development stopped in 2016.<p>ELK (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kieler&#x2F;elkjs) is currently being developed by the KIELER Project, mostly by students and professors, written in Java. They are doing a great job, but the library is written in Java and then transpiled to JavaScript. They also rely on students for help with the development, which makes progress slow.<p>Do you happen to know of any new projects that are actively addressing this problem?
