Folder view for Layout

[ahiesta]

Add a Folders view to the Hierarchy Layout Plugin.

The folder view would look much like the folders view in Windows Explorer. A vertical tree view of nodes, where all edges are either vertical or horizontal. Node labels would default to Right alignment.

Although having collapsable 'Nodes' is not a requirement, it might be nice.

The vertices can be laid out that way, but all edges are straight between the vertices. You need right angles in the edges for a layout like that.

Hrmm... actually, I bet I could do right angle links. I'll look into it.

[ahiesta]

One possible solution would be to create a node at the corner of the right angle.

Just another thought, but maybe this view could be vertical or horizontal.

Vertical would be like a folder view.

Horizontal would be like an organization chart.
