Persist hand-made layout about dependo HOT 6 OPEN

Makes good sense. Would be great if someone had time to hack a prototype of this.

That's what I plan to do, but I might need you to point me to where the fixed position data is.

Dumping the coordinates in local storage would be just fine. Maybe a JSON blob for each "report", so we would need to generate a unique id for each report.

I get it, but I was asking where to look for the data. If you could point me to a method that fetches the coords of nodes that would be a nice kickstart for my work.

I've got a proof of concept. I know how to do that.
Now the question is: what should be the unique-enough id of a graph?
My initial idea was to use a hash of all module names, but then you lose the layout if dependencies change. So the code that generates html should say what the identification is. Project folder maybe?

from dependo.

Yeah, I would hash the folder-path, and use that as the key?
