This looks really similar to what you want to do but with d3 and interactive: http://maurizzzio.github.io/greuler/#/examples/dfs (click "run algorithm")

That's really nice! I like graphviz layouts because they use curved arcs (that sometimes make graphs look much better). How difficult would be to use it with d3?

The relevant algorithm is Sugiyama, and there's an unmaintained, but working plugin for d3 called dagre-d3.

Cool, I'm totally new to d3, but it seems very very interesting. It's nice to know that a good layout plugin is available. Thanks for the info!

I'm not complaining but interested - why does this not work on my iPhone? Safari does not support it? Phones in general do not provide some basic resource needed?

I have usually dismissed JavaScript fails on iPhones as one of those things, but it is hard to argue with the idea that the mobile world is now the predominant platform?

If I open the GitHub page on my iPhone I can see the graph animating. It's just an animated gif, so it should not really be a problem of Javascript at all (there is none involved). On the other hand, if you are trying to use the Jupyter notebook, I've no idea if it works on iPhone.

If you have a specific issue, can I please ask you to report it on GitHub Issues?

Thanks!
