An example diagram with some connectors, placed manually

One of diagrams which people use Draw (or Impress) to produce is, essentially,
a graph of drawing shapes as vertices, often rectangular but not just, with
connectors - straight-line or with right-angles - connecting them, as the
edges.

As these graphs get bigger, it becomes more difficult and unweildy to arrange
them automatically on a page - to reduce overall connector length, connector
intersections, and general confusion. Software for "graph drawing" like gv
offer such functionality - or something similar - outside of LO.

It would be nice if LO Draw/Impress offered the functionality of auto-arranging
such shapes on a page or slide, and configuring the connectors, for some kind
of pleasant result.
