Repel nodes rather than labels

[aosavi]

In geom_node_text I can set repel to TRUE such that labels are moved and no longer overlap. Rather, I'd like the nodes to move (either horizontally, vertically, or both), such that the labels are still tied to the nodes. Is that possible? Or is there another way to spread out nodes such that labels do not overlap?

This is not possible and unlikely to appear as layouts are calculated once and what you are after depends on the size of the plot being generated
