Description
I'm using the AutomaticGraphLayout package to lay out ~200-300 nodes with varying edge counts between them (between 0 and 30).
Currently I'm using a SugiyamaLayout, but that seems to have issues with isolated nodes (some nodes just don't have any edges), kind of sometimes grouping them and sometimes scattering them around.
Is there
- a way to control placement of isolated nodes with SugiyamaLayout
- a better layout algorithm in this library for such a case
- a comparison page which layout is suited towards what kind of graph / data?
Thanks!

Research direction
Review the AutomaticGraphLayout and SugiyamaLayout documentation and examples first, focusing on how nodes with zero edges are handled. Reproduce the behavior with a 200–300-node graph containing isolated nodes, then document whether placement can be controlled, which available layout is better, and whether a comparison guide is needed.
