That's interesting... what is the output file (postscript?) and how can you view it in any detail? This is one aspect of the project I am puzzling over... How to zoom in on detail, without losing the big picture, when you have hundreds or thousands of nodes. A big plotter would help, but I don't have access to one. It's hard to imagine printing more than a hundred or so nodes on a normal piece of paper...
