do these two threads + these responses put together almost work?

> I still don’t have access to a computer with Julia on it frowning . Looking at your code, I don’t think that GraphRecipes is the right fit for you without some fairly serious modification. Right now we don’t do anything to make sure that edges go around nodes and other edges that are in their way. Instead, we always try to find a layout that minimizes intersections between edges. The layout that you are forcing graphplot to use has edges 3\to4 and 4\to5 lying right on top of 5\to3. Presumabl…

Light graphs could work they do have a hierarchy thingy majig. I had trouble getting flowchart like behaviour with light graph plots.
