How would one automatically layout Max/Jitter/OpenGL elements according to a prioritized list of layout rules, or possibly using some prefab graph drawing algorithms (such as those depicted in the video at: 

http://www.yworks.com/en/products_yed_about.html).

I am also interested in entering elements by typing, specifying their connectivity, but without specifying their spatial location, having a layout algorithm determine where the object will go. One possibility I'm imagining is using arrow keys to navigate among existing objects, and among possible 'insertion points' that would show where the new object would go, according to the layout scheme..

Automatic Layout?
