Description

Adjencency Lists are commonly used structures to describe directed and undirected graphs.

Establishing a structure of Nodes that is connected according to an adjecency list would be a good starting point for non-tree diagrams of various sorts.

This requires some good preparation to ensure the structure is flexible in layout and styling.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing diagram creation code in drawpyo to understand node and edge structures. Then design a new class that accepts an adjacency list and generates appropriate shapes and connectors. Look at examples like tree diagrams for reference.
