Hello,

I wish to layout a graph using a force-directed layout algorithm, but
where a few of the nodes are fixed. That is, there is a subset of
nodes that have a predetermined position that must be maintained. Is
it possible to achieve such behavior using one of the boost graph
layout algorithms? I have been over the documentation for each and my
conclusion would be that such behavior is not possible. Has anyone
tried this before? Can anyone point me to some resources that aim to
achieve this sort of layout?

Any and all suggestions welcomed.

Thanks.

Regards,
Donovan
