Description
I'm building an app to create entity relationship diagrams from data in a model. I'd like to have the nodes in the diagram spread out from each other in a rough spiral pattern around a central node. I've tried several different layouts with various parameter settings. I've attached some files showing the actual results vs the desired results. Any suggestions? In the samples, the hexagons are relations and the rectangles are the entities. Thanks in advance!

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry point; start by comparing the attached actual and desired ER-diagram images with the layout options and parameter settings already tried. Done would require a concrete, reproducible layout approach that spreads relation and entity nodes in the requested rough spiral around a central node.
