How is this superior to draw.io (or the open source library that underpins it)

  As far as I saw, draw io dors not do automatic layout. Would be very happy to be proven wrong
  • snoopfab 6y ago
    The jgraph Java toolkit and mxgraph JavaScript library used in draw.io both support automatic layout even for quite large networks. From the draw.io gui I've never used it but I would be surprised if the possibility does not exist.

    draw.io has some automatic layouts (Arrange > Layout), but they are fairly basic. In terms of customizability it doesn't come close to yFiles / yEd. (Admittedly, I'm biased; I work for the latter, but the available layout options do indeed speak for themselves.)

  Does it claim to be? It is an option which may or may not fit the varying needs of readers of HN, just as draw.io is.
