Hi Ben,
There is the ROLayoutTranslator hierarchy that is used to have smooth animation. Indeed, a
signalUpdate is done at every relevant steps.
By the way, have you tried:

| view |
view := ROMondrianViewBuilder new.
ROMondrianExample new chooseLayoutOn: view.
view open

It seems lots of research continues to goes into improving layouting algorithms. I think
Roassal could provide a good basis to visualize the operation of a layout algorithm as an
animation. This could be useful to researchers as well as teaching demonstrations to
students. The benefit for Roassal of being 'the platform' for researchers to
develop and test their layout algorithms, would be ending up with all the latest and
greatest of these built-in.
Perhaps a student project...
One alternative could be a framework that manually inserted #signalUpdate's at
significant points of the algorithm.
Another could being extending the Smalltalk debugger to automatically send
#signalUpdate's with each step.
