Slight aside: does anyone know how mermaid/planutml layout functionality is implemented? I'd like to do something similar (but much simpler). I have a few entities (boxes) that are part of a DAG, and I'd like to lay them out somewhat optimally.

It's not the interesting problem that I'm trying to solve so I'd love to reuse something if I can.
