Cytoscape Dependency Graph
A package-dependency graph laid out left-to-right with the Dagre extension — each node is a package (with its semver pinned in the label), each edge is a `requires` relationship, and shared transitive dependencies are correctly de-duplicated so the diamond-merges that npm/yarn pr

When to use this template
This visualization clarifies the intricate web of 'depends-on' relationships within a system, making it easy to trace dependencies and identify critical paths. Analysts leverage it to understand architectural structures, diagnose the impact of changes, and pinpoint shared components or potential inefficiencies arising from transitive relationships.
- Data representing directed 'requires' or 'consumes' relationships.
- Datasets where entities form a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG).
- Node-level metadata, such as version or status, is relevant.
- Graphs with a clear distinction between direct and indirect connections.
- Moderate cardinality graphs (hundreds to low thousands of nodes).
- Data where identifying common transitive dependencies is key.
