Description

The current state already supports multiple parents and non-tree organization chart structures, as long as they are acyclic.

But the layout could be even better for those cases and the multi-parent feature of the yFiles tree layout should be used, when feasible to get the best results and the most compact visualizations.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing multiple-parent and acyclic-layout implementation and the yFiles tree-layout integration. Determine when the yFiles multi-parent feature can be enabled without breaking supported organization charts, then verify that affected charts produce more compact layouts.
