Description

Hi! Can two nodes in WpfGraphControl be located next to each other after graph generation?
Something like this:

I`m trying to use Attr.length property, but it has no effect. Also assign zero to Attr. Separation will not give significant effect. It's just a short line.

Research direction

Read WpfGraphControl's graph-generation and attribute handling, focusing on Attr.length and Attr.Separation. Reproduce the pictured layout and determine whether those settings affect the generated positions; done means a confirmed way to place nodes next to each other or a clear limitation.
