Elkjs Tree

Like our dagre example, this example shows how you can integrate elkjs with Svelte Flow for more advanced tree layouts. The code for this example builds a similar tree to the dagre example, but you can look at the reference here to see what you can configure (hint: it’s a lot).
<script lang="ts">
  import { onMount } from 'svelte';

    Panel,

  let edges = $state.raw<Edge[]>([]);
 
  const { fitView } = $derived(useSvelteFlow());
 
  const elk = new ELK();
 
  // Elk has a *huge* amount of options to configure. To see everything you can
