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

2 points by nateless 3 years ago · 0 comments · 1 min read


Hello,

I've been researching layered graph algorithms, but it appears that this market is mostly inactive at the moment.

Dagre (https://github.com/dagrejs/dagre) is considered outdated, with a codebase from 2015 that is no longer being updated, although they still accept some pull requests.

KLAY (https://github.com/kieler/klayjs) has been succeeded by ELK, and development stopped in 2016.

ELK (https://github.com/kieler/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.

Do you happen to know of any new projects that are actively addressing this problem?
