-    The ForceAtlas2 layout is a force-directed that improves upon ForceAtlas by simplifying the parameters [1].
-    It offers a good compromise between clustering and spatially separating parts of the network.
-    The layout was originally designed and used by Gephi to visualize graphs in a continuous and interactive manner.

-    The layout is based on the balance between an attractive force, and a repulsion force.
-    The attraction force is defined by the distance between nodes. Nodes close
-    eachother (in a graphical sense) are attracted more than more spatially distant
-    away nodes.
