There was a problem hiding this comment.
That's a great feature!
Is there a way in either of the two to pass prescribed x and y positions of the nodes?
Best would be minimal grid integers, i.e. (0,1) instead of sth like (354,762).
Should be optional, of course.
Also, in graphviz, is there a way to have uniform node sizes?
Regardless, the feature is already great and good to merge!

Also updated some of the documentation/examples to demonstrate the new plotting capabilities.
A few examples (processes are in blue, stocks in green, flows as edges):
