Description

The ForceAtlas2 layout algorithm designed for Gephi software is well suited to large graphs. This might be a good addition to existing (random_layout, circular_layout, spring_layout, shell_layout, stressmajorize_layout, spectral_layout).

Research direction

Start by reading the linked ForceAtlas2 paper and the existing random_layout, circular_layout, spring_layout, shell_layout, stressmajorize_layout, and spectral_layout implementations. Compare their interfaces and behavior, then determine how ForceAtlas2 should fit alongside them. Done means the algorithm is available as an additional layout option and works for large graphs.
