Auto arranging nodes

[Vaisakhkm2625]

First off all, thanks for making this wonderful utility.. it was a life saver for troubleshooting audio issues

Is there any automatic way to arrange these nodes? it is hard to keep track of nodes and arrange every time opening it... maybe a grid system with snapping too might be nice

I am not using any advanced features, i don't know if this issue is already solved or i am using this wrong

try View > Repel Overlapping Nodes

sorry for the late reply,

yes i tried it before raising issue... i should have mentioned it..

situation is not much better, still hard to find where starting and ending is...

https://youtu.be/MD_mQ-sEw7s so i have to do this every time if it is not arranged when i opens it up.... (audio is from some random yt video playing in the background)

(today all nodes were actually arranged like last time i set it when i opened it up ,so i removed ~/.config/rncbc.org/qpwgraph.conf to recreated it )

This is just recommendation, if it is hard to implement or not required, you can close this issue 😅

GraphVis has a layout algorithm that might work for this. Not sure how that works though

View > Repel Overlapping Nodes is the current solution; and it's going to stay, unless someone gets a better idea (in MR terms:))

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by MR terms, and I also understand if you don't want to spend valuable time adding a feature you don't really care about. Thanks for putting in the effort regardless to reply.

If it's an API issue, here's the reference for the libgraphviz c API, which even provides a way to have the library calculate locations and splines, and allow you to render them how you'd prefer. https://www.graphviz.org/pdf/libguide.pdf (see section 1.2) more info: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15910527/which-graphviz-library-api-is-recommended-for-a-c-project-that-needs-to-genera

Either way, thanks for this awesome audio tool! It's helped me dozens of times since I found it a week ago.

fwiw. MR = Merge Request
