Classify your graph

Two predicates describe independent things:

• isStructural decides whether an edge contributes to the spanning tree. Non-structural edges remain drawable; they just do not decide position.
• isSatellite keeps a node out of the tree and parks it in an outer pocket, even if it has edges.

import { customLayout } from 'ego-graph';

const positions = customLayout(graph, {
  firstLayer: { mode: 'radial' },
  nextLayers: { mode: 'bubble' },
  isStructural: (edge) => edge.type !== 'same-ip',
  isSatellite: (node) => node.type === 'shared-attribute',
  getWeight: (node) => node.data.memberCount ?? 1,
});

The same callbacks work on every customLayout import.

This distinction matters for shared attributes. If a phone number connects several unrelated customers, letting it join the hierarchy can pull all of them into one branch. Treat it as a satellite instead: it stays visible without distorting the ego view.

getWeight is useful after folding: return the number of represented members so a collapsed branch still receives enough space on the ring.
