This is the current behavior in for the horizontalLineLayout. If you do

view nodes: (1 to: 1000).
view horizontalLineLayout.

then you have a very long line of nodes. The layout considers the space infinite.

When I mentioned infinite areas, I had in mind the grid layout.
You can do:

view nodes: (1 to: 10000).
view gridLayout.

The roassal window is not large enough to show all the nodes. So, where do you want to scroll? Vertically or horizontally? Where the layout has room to expand the area with the nodes. This is what I meant with infinite area

Now that we are on it, can the layout optimize itself to the available display area (e.g. Roassal window) so that the information presented by the visualization be viewed/analyze/understood with least scrolling? Just a thought.
