#SpringLayout
But I think the real strength is embedded figures and UI widgets can argue for their own space. Weighted constraints are something SpringLayout didn't do, but they capture "if you give me more space, I can effectively use this much" knowledge that you want in e.g. feed, table, and calendar widgets.

Spring layout (nothing to do with spring simulation for graph vertex positioning) was actually a lovely piece of work if you were crafting GUIs in the early 2000's.

Constraint solvers and CSP langs have come a long way since then.

The two biggest reasons this would have taken me longer to write are:

1. I'd have used a SpringLayout instead of GridLayout. Everything in spring is relative, so I could tell it to put a label exactly X pixels from the TOP and LEFT EDGE of the window, then the LEFT SIDE of an input box X pixels..

I've seen this in some of my graphs as well, tho not sure why. I'd recommend using networkx to export as a gexf file for Gephi, and then use the Force2 algorithm (essentially a springlayout). Its got some nice toggles and is real time which could help you figure out what the problem is.
