There's the graphcanvas.py plugin which let's you draw arbitrary graphs in a 
log tab - nodes on the graph are nodes in Leo.  Works well with my flexible 
frame layout, as you can see the graph and the links etc. more easily.  It 
doesn't currently implement auto-layout using graphviz, but that wouldn't be 
hard to add - I suppose wrapped in http://networkx.lanl.gov/ would be the 
pythonic way to go.

The Tk version did have auto-layout, although for conceptual analysis type 
graphing I often prefer to do my own layout.

Cheers -Terry
