The physics system has been overhauled to increase performance. The original simulation method was based on particel physics with a repulsion field (potential) around each node,
and the edges were modelled as springs. The new system employed the <ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes%E2%80%93Hut_simulation">Barnes-Hut</a> gravitational simulation model. The edges are still modelled as springs.
To unify the physics system, the damping, repulsion distance and edge length have been combined in an physics option. To retain good behaviour, both the old repulsion model and the Barnes-Hut model have their own parameters.
If no options for the physics system are supplied, the Barnes-Hut method will be used with the default parameters.
Graph uses a <ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-directed_graph_drawing">force directed algorithm</a> to layout nodes and edges, and uses the <ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes%E2%80%93Hut_simulation">Barnes-Hut</a> gravitational simulation model. There are a number of configuration options available to tune the physics model. Note that wrong configuration can lead to instable behaviour.
