Circular layout

Question

Hello, 

I have a graph of 8700 nodes, it is almost a tree but it has a loop of 11 nodes. I'm trying to obtain a layout as in Fig. 1, where the loop is centered and surrounded by overlapped "circular segments". However, the graph that I got with the circular layout has the edges too long and the "circular segments" cannot overlap (as in Fig. 2). What layout I should use in order to get a graph as in Fig. 1?

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

yEd does not support the desired arrangement. One of the most important requirements for yEd's layout algorithms is to produce overlap-free arrangements.
