[Question] Set node spacing for nested children

[Jaywhisker]

I would like to know if there is any option to adjust the spacing between the nodes in nested children. Currently my elk option is the following:

const elkOptions = {
'elk.algorithm': 'layered',
'elk.layered.spacing.nodeNodeBetweenLayers': '50',
'elk.spacing.nodeNode': '80',
'elk.direction': 'RIGHT',
'elk.edgeRouting': 'POLYLINE',
'elk.layered.considerModelOrder': 'true',
'elk.hierarchyHandling': 'INCLUDE_CHILDREN',
}

I retrieve a result like this

The nested children (as seen in the grey sections) seem to follow the default spacing of 20, instead of the assigned 80. I have tried setting a width and height for the parent node as well, but elk always defaults it back this size regardless. I am hoping to be able to adjust the size of the parent node to be able to achieve graphs similar to this in the future.

To add on, while I understand I could set the parent node size with elk.nodeSize.minimum, I do not know how to align the child nodes to the right. I've tried elk.alignment without any success

Hi, add layout options only for the current hierarchy level. Hence, you need to specify the spacing on the "Frame 100" node.

Could you create an example in elklive?
