bbop-layout's Issues

Allow multiple engines with output in a single format

This is the starting point for the layout abstractions we will want moving forward in Noctua. Taking over from geneontology/noctua#74.

All output laytouts need to follow a uniform distribution.

Currently, the different layouts have different ideas about the "scale" that the layout occurs on. We want to make them uniform so downstream can use them in a uniform way.

We'll look at make the "domain" of a single node grossly equal to "1". In this sense, it "feels" "right" that a graph of three nodes has their constituent node fit in a 2.0x2.0 space, like (0.875, 1.75), (0,0), and (1.75, 0). Or, for that matter, (0,0), (2,0), and (2,1). Final sizing and snudging would be left to downstream, but we should be in more-or-less the same ballpark within the package.
