=head1 NAME

Graph::Easy::Layout::Force - Force-based layouter for Graph::Easy

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	use Graph::Easy;
	
	my $graph = Graph::Easy->new();

	$graph->add_edge ('Bonn', 'Berlin');
	$graph->add_edge ('Bonn', 'Ulm');
	$graph->add_edge ('Ulm', 'Berlin');

	$graph->layout( type => 'force' );

	print $graph->as_ascii( );

	# prints:
	
	#   +------------------------+
	#   |                        v
	# +------+     +-----+     +--------+
	# | Bonn | --> | Ulm | --> | Berlin |
	# +------+     +-----+     +--------+

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Graph::Easy::Layout::Force> contains routines that calculate a
force-based layout for a graph.

Nodes repell each other, while edges connecting them draw them together.

The layouter calculates the forces on each node, then moves them around
according to these forces until things have settled down.

Used automatically by Graph::Easy.

=head1 EXPORT

Exports nothing.

=head1 SEE ALSO

L<Graph::Easy>.

=head1 METHODS

This module injects the following methods into Graph::Easy:

=head2 _layout_force()

Calculates the node position with a force-based method.
