Research direction

Start by reproducing the MDS layout with a graph containing multiple nodes with zero edges, using the attached screenshot as the observed behavior. Trace how isolated nodes are positioned and verify that all zero-edge nodes are grouped consistently rather than some being aligned to the right.

Description
