Mathew Benson, I haven't seen a high-quality drag-and-drop layout editor that "just works", though I have seen some attempts, like https://jetstrap.com/ (but I had issues trying to use it for anything real or complex).
If you are interested in automating the layout of hundreds of objects and avoiding collisions (and adding drag-and-drop for user-customizations), there are some powerful tools and examples with the d3 library (there are 12 included layout algorithms: https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Layouts, some interesting examples are: http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4063269, http://mbostock.github.io/d3/talk/20111018/tree.html, http://mbostock.github.io/d3/talk/20111018/collision.html, http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4062045 and http://mbostock.github.io/d3/talk/20111116/force-collapsible.html). -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
