1) I would like to reiterate my request for automatic layer 2 discovery. I have written a primitive Perl script that does this - can't this be added to IM? (I can send this script to you if desired.)
2) I also think it would be great if items on maps could be locked down, so they can't be moved. The layout tools tend to move things around in annoying ways. 3) Some more auto-layout tools would also be appreciated. Take a look at the spring embedder algorithm for laying out graphs. Here's a demo (warning - fun to play with): http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/algo/lehre/ss04/gd/demo.html There are in fact a whole raft of ways to automatically draw graphs. Here are some more examples from graph-drawing libraries: http://www.algorithmic-solutions.info/leda_guide/graph_algorithms/graph_draw.html http://www.tomsawyer.com/gallery/gallery.php I tend to like hierarchical schemes when laying things out by hand, but that's just because it's easier. 4) Other drawing-package features would be cool, like zoom in/out, snap to grid, group/ungroup. Just have a look at the draw module in AppleWorks to see the sorts of things I'm referring to. I've been asking for all of these features for some years now....
