Description

Thanks for making a great package! Would it be possible to integrate this with the above two mentioned packages? I'm thinking that we then could write

gplot(g; layout=NetworkLayout:Stress)

where g is a weighted graph, which means that we directly use those weights as input to the NetworkLayout-algorithm?

Research direction

Start at the gplot entry point and inspect how layout arguments and weighted graphs are currently handled. Read the NetworkLayout.jl and SimpleWeightedGraphs.jl APIs to determine the integration boundary. Done means a weighted graph can pass its weights to the NetworkLayout algorithm through the requested layout option, with behavior demonstrated by tests or an example.
