+# Whimsical fork of dagre
+
+This fork was made to support a [new feature](https://github.com/WhimsicalCode/dagre/commit/f8f9511069a7603e00bece24b49de33cba1d04b5) in `dagre` - variable padding for clusters.
+This enables us to have a better looking layout when calculating layout with `dagre`. 
+This fork is made on the `0.8.6` version because the new maintainers of `dagre` have started to
+use private class members in `graphlib` (dependency of `dagre`) which is not supported by
+the Google Closure Compiler. When these changes were applied to the newer (`1.0.5-pre`) version, cluster children
+`ranksep` (the vertical distance between nodes) looked very different compared to `0.8.6`
+
