Just looking at what maya uses to do it's auto graph layout:
http://www.tomsawyer.com/glt/
I think we discussed this before, but are there any opensource solutions for
this? Might be an interesting project, although I can imagine it getting very
heavy...
Would be nice for our modulars though. The graph on the left of the second
diagram is very familiar to me from using SSM anyway ;)

Not independently AFAIK, dot has this stuff in it
(http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/), but I think its tied
into the engine.
You might be able to gust you the layout engine in libgraph (part of dot),
but I'm not sure.

Seems to be confirmed here:

Just a warning if you wanted to use code from graphviz in your own
apps. I had to stay away in my own situation, you may not have to in
yours though.

vcg requires a different file format, but it is apparently GPL, and
thus I prefer using vcg.

springgraph or dot (part of graphviz as mentioned) may be what you're
looking for. springgraph is Free, graphviz is free but not Free. They
both use the same input files.

springgraph looks quite good, but I'm not sure how readable the 3D graphs are :)
guess I should get SSM to output .dot files, and see how it looks...

artsbuilder is definitely free and uses an auto-routing algorithm:

also interesting, though closed, is the gravity/antigravity based graph
balancing behaviour implemented in:

Touchgraph ittself is open though, but its written in Java, so its not
what everyone wants.
