Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In graph mode text of nodes overlaps and it is makes it unreadable and useless.

Describe the solution you'd like

Text in graph mode should be repelled from edges and each other

Describe alternatives you've considered

The alternative of defaults I wrote would be setting strength of repel force in form of slider that allows fine tune this setting.
