Looking at your picture in [Staggering layout to avoid overlapping labels](https://igraph.discourse.group/t/staggering-layout-to-avoid-overlapping-labels/581) and the algorithm, it seems like it’s going to be really hard to change the layout to achieve much better results at the most crowded spots 😟

I’m really not an expert on the layout algorithms by the way (or anything else around here 😛), so I’m sort of half-guessing, but it seems like huge pictures or zoomed in vectors is the way to go.
