For example,
if you want to connect methods with their defining classes, and have many classes on
screen. It is more important to have a strong repulsion between the classes, than having
the methods of a class repulsing from methods from another class.
I like the idea, but what do you mean by domain-specific ?
Do you want to visualize something else than software ?
The force base layout gives to all the edges and nodes the same value. But maybe, if you
can tell that some nodes are more important than other, then the complexity can be
significantly reduced.
The algo can be used for anything that is represented as a graph.
