Tidy-tree Layout

The tidy-tree layout arranges nodes in a hierarchical, tree-like structure. It is especially useful for diagrams where parent-child relationships are important, such as mindmaps.

Features

• Organizes nodes in a tidy, non-overlapping tree
• Ideal for mindmaps and hierarchical data
• Automatically adjusts spacing for readability
