Prevent Edges from Crossing over Nodes

[Sherif Morris]

I have been utilizing Cytoscape for a few days and find it very powerful. However, some its functionalities I am still trying to unlock. Here is a network I have graphed , but because of how dense it is - the edges are crossing over nodes they aren't connected to.

 

Is there any way this can be prevented? Attached is an illustration of the problem I speak of.

I find that sometimes bundling the edges helps with this issue.  (layout -> bundle edges)

Yes, usually edge bundling is the way to go.

If your network is that dense, it is better to increase "spring
constant" for cleaner view.
