Stack overflow in Spring & SFDP layouts

[kenahoo]

I have some somewhat-large graph data that I'm attempting to do partial layouts on, and I'm hitting StackOverflowErrors when I try. I'm attaching the data, and here's the code I'm using for layout:

using GraphIO.EdgeList, Graphs
using NetworkLayout
using GeometryBasics: Point
using JSON3


println("Loading data")
g = loadgraph("graph.e", EdgeListFormat())
pin = identity.(JSON3.read("pin.json"))
initialpos = identity.(JSON3.read("initialpos.json"))


println("Running layout")
# Both of the following fail
NetworkLayout.sfdp(g; pin, initialpos, iterations = 5)
NetworkLayout.spring(g; pin, initialpos, initialtemp = 3.940695496278636, iterations = 5)

data.tgz

Any thoughts? I did also try converting g to an undirected graph, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

Can you post the output of ] st and ] st -m so we can see all package versions? And also the stacktrace? The code you posted just works for me....

Here you go:

Just to be clear - there doesn't seem to be any stack trace generated. If I catch the exception object, it looks like this:

(exception = StackOverflowError(), backtrace = Base.StackTraces.StackFrame[])

[hexaeder]

using Pkg
pkg"activate --temp"
pkg"dev NetworkLayout"
pkg"add GraphIO, Graphs, GeometryBasics, JSON3"
using GraphIO.EdgeList, Graphs
using NetworkLayout
using GeometryBasics: Point
using JSON3

tmpdir = mktempdir()
dl = download("https://github.com/user-attachments/files/17196286/data.tgz", joinpath(tmpdir, "data.tgz"))
run(`tar -xzf $dl -C $tmpdir`)

gdat = joinpath(tmpdir, "graph.e")
pdat = joinpath(tmpdir, "pin.json")
idat = joinpath(tmpdir, "initialpos.json")
@assert isfile(gdat) && isfile(pdat) && isfile(idat)

println("Loading data")
g = loadgraph(gdat, EdgeListFormat())
pin = identity.(JSON3.read(pdat))
initialpos = identity.(JSON3.read(idat))

NetworkLayout.sfdp(g; pin, initialpos, iterations = 5)
NetworkLayout.spring(g; pin, initialpos, initialtemp = 3.940695496278636, iterations = 5)

here's a fully contained example including downloading and unzipping the data in a temp dir. Maybe others wanna try it out too. I still cannot reproduce, neither on 1.10 nor on 1.11...

On the first glance i could not find a recursion in the layouts. Does this happen also without pin/initial position or only if you provide those arguments?

[kenahoo]

My main use case is spring(), so I'll limit testing to that. It looks like if I omit the pin argument, it still fails, but if I also omit initialpos it starts succeeding:

julia> NetworkLayout.spring(g; initialpos, initialtemp = 3.940695496278636, iterations = 5)
ERROR: StackOverflowError:

julia> NetworkLayout.spring(g; initialtemp = 3.940695496278636, iterations = 5)

 [0.5321571725614764, -0.932350047898484]
...

It also succeeds with just pin and no initialpos:

7181-element Vector{Point{2, Float64}}:

I also just checked with julia --startup-file=no in case that was doing something, but no difference.
