Request for a new component

Functionality

Currently, we have to move the nodes and set their position manually. To draw a nice network graphic, one would like to align the nodes (= same x or y position).

We can start think about a feature that would align the selected nodes, or if a user drag a node next to another, it can "stick" to the same x or y position than its neighbor, or any other node close to the same x or y position, as it can be the case for PowerPoint elements

I believe there is already a "stick to near node position" feature, but is there any "stick all selected nodes positions" feature coming ?

Indeed, there is a primitive for aligning nodes to the raster. But this method is not yet fully implemented and can be improved.

 export const RASTERING_BASIC_GRID_SIZE = 32;

 NodeService.alginNodeToRaster
 NoteService.alginNoteToRaster

This problem requires a more detailed specification. It may be worth working with a UX designer. PowerPoint could be a good application to draw inspiration from.
