Sometimes a detailed description is required for the node label and it would be helpful if the text wrapped after a certain length.

The file WITHOUT OVERLAP shows the taxonomy produced using an Applescript for Omnigraffle.

I’ll make a suggestion for: Horizontal hierarchical charts, with ability to adjust spacing between nodes in both horizontal and vertical direction.

Related enhancements

1. Layout when ‘avoid nodes overlap’ should ALSO avoid the labels being overlapped.
2. Adjust location (left, right, centre)
3. Adjust orientation (30, 90 degrees)
