Abstract

A computer implemented method, apparatus and computer program product for adjusting a graph. A modification to a first object in the graph is determined in which the first object has a position relative to a second object in the graph. The second object in the graph is repositioned, without user intervention, to accommodate the modification to the first object. The repositioning includes preserving the relative position of the first object to the second object.
