Description

Have been looking around and cannot find any nice DAG layout algorithms, similar to what graphviz dot does. Have no idea how to do it - looks like NetworkX doesn't support it.

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating GraphPlot.jl's existing layout code, then compare the desired DAG behavior with Graphviz dot and assess whether NetworkX provides a useful reference; done means an agreed algorithm and integrated DAG layout.
