Description

I like putting the nodes on an integer grid, for consistent-style reasons (for example, I want to do that in Data Analysis Recipes). But sometimes you might want that grid (in increasing order of difficulty):

  • rectangular (think neural networks where the vertical spacing is always much larger than the horizontal)
  • triangular (think again neural networks or (even better) equilateral triangular)
  • other geometries (like polar etc)

This is an enhanced goal because we don't need this for present goals. (For some reason I don't have the right to label the issues with tags.)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current grid implementation in the daft library and extend it to support rectangular, triangular, and polar coordinate grids.
