Research direction

Start by reading GraphPlot's referenced src/collapse_plot.jl and compare its Community Layout and Collapse Layout with the existing NetworkLayout package. Trace how NetworkLayout algorithms are exposed for use in GraphMakie, then confirm both algorithms can be used there.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The following algorithms from GraphPlot are not in NetworkLayout:

  • Community Layout
  • Collapse Layout

See https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/GraphPlot.jl/blob/a04b5cfde71b65b01aa2bae43ce7a15b49c8a85d/src/collapse_plot.jl

It might be worth copying them over to this package so they can be used in GraphMakie?
