Classic "attraction-repulsion" algorithm

[Rossman]

Does anyone know where I can get more information on this algorithm?

I see they are using it for Flickr Graph (http://www.marumushi.com/apps/flickrgraph/) (and a couple other apps on that site), and I am building an app that will need to do something very similar, but for a different kind of tree...

Any ideas? I'm still combing google...

Hi, did you have any luck with this?

I am looking into building something similar.

Cheers.

I didn't find much information available, but I built a simple prototype which is working now...it's just far too slow with a tree as large as I am trying to work with, so I'm trying to figure out how to optimize my code to make it faster...
