Cytoscape Breadth-First Tree
A directed tree laid out level-by-level using Cytoscape's `breadthfirst` layout — children sit directly below their parent, siblings are evenly spaced, and the depth of any node is its row position. This produces the classic 'org chart from above' look without needing a third-par

When to use this template
This visualization excels at revealing the hierarchical structure and relationships within a dataset, making it easy to trace paths from a root to its descendants. Analysts use it to understand how components break down, identify reporting lines, or navigate nested categories, providing a clear overview of an organization or system's architecture.
- Datasets with explicit parent-child relationships.
- Hierarchical structures with a single, defined root.
- Data where depth or level in the hierarchy is significant.
- Graphs guaranteed to be directed and acyclic.
- Nodes possessing categorical attributes for differentiation.
- Edges signifying dependency, containment, or reporting lines.
