position edge labels using cytoscape.js

Due to the nodes and edges between nodes, the breadthfirst algorithm is positioning nodes in such a way that labels on the nodes are overlapping one another. Is it possible to have the algorithm either position the nodes or the edge labels so they don't overlap, or attempt to minimize overlap?

You may be interested in label autorotation for edges, planned for 2.4 and implemented in unstable. As for the logic you'd like in the layout itself, it may be a too tight coupling of implied rendering behaviour to the layout. Whereas things like node.outerHeight() can be taken into consideration directly and explicitly in layouts, this would rely on the layout assuming certain rendering behaviour.

I think there's a factor option for spacing the nodes farther apart in the breadthfirst layout, and if you want to discuss other new ideas like it I would be happy to discuss it in a ticket in the tracker.

Thanks
