A range of successful modeling tools to develop complex systems use node-link-style diagrams as their underlying language. Over the years such languages can change, for instance as part of a tool update. When migrating existing models, changes in syntax directly affect the placement of elements in their diagrams. Increasing the size of certain nodes may for example result in node overlaps.
