Description

I am creating an app that loads some data and draw the graph. However, every time I run the app with the same data, it generates a different graph.

Is there any way to set the layout parameters and make it generate the same layout everytime?

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior by running the app repeatedly with identical input data and compare the generated graph layouts. Trace the graph-layout entry point to determine which layout parameters are exposed; done means documenting or implementing a way to produce the same layout consistently and verifying it across repeated runs.
