=head1 NAME

Graph::Layout::Aesthetic::Force::NodeEdgeRepulsion - Nodes and edges repel each other

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Graph::Layout::Aesthetic;
  $aglo = Graph::Layout::Aesthetic->new($topology);
  $aglo->add_force("NodeEdgeRepulsion", 1);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides an aesthetic force for use by the
L<Graph::Layout::Aesthetic package|Graph::Layout::Aesthetic>. It's normally
implicitly loaded by using L<add_force|Graph::Layout::Aesthetic/add_force>.

The aesthetic force is that it tries to not place nodes close to edges. It does
this by imagining a line through the edge endpoints and finding the point on
the line closest to the node under consideration. If this point is between the
two edge endpoints there is a force between them that's the inverse of their
distance.

=head1 METHODS

This class inherits from
L<Graph::Layout::Aesthetic::Force|Graph::Layout::Aesthetic::Force> and adds
no methods of its own.

=head1 EXPORT

None.
