Auto-arrange all nodes with Python in Cinema 4D

[ievedeck]

In practice, I've had better results focusing on graph creation and connections through the Graph API rather than trying to automate layout. If automatic arrangement is critical, you may need to rely on manual arrangement or a custom positioning system using node coordinates (if available in your node space implementation).

I completely agree with that. I also found that trying to automate the layout often creates more headaches than it solves, especially as the graph becomes more complex. Focusing on graph creation and relationships through the Graph API feels much more reliable, and if positioning really matters, a custom coordinate system or a bit of manual adjustment seems like the most practical approach.

That matches my experience too, as the Graph API is much more reliable for building node connections, while automatic layout tends to need manual positioning or custom coordinate logic.
