Spike-Graph Layout Improvements

[josephbirkner]

Here are a few suggestions for improvements that might improve the understandability of the Raveboard Spike graph:

• Make sure that dependent spikes/acts are always positioned to-the-right-of and at-same-height-or-below their parents.
• Instead of hiding finished activations, keep displaying them, e.g. in transparent grey?
• Make sure that unfinished activations are always displayed in the right-most column.
• When hovering over a node, highlight parents recursively?

Good ideas here! I definitely agree on keeping the finished activations in a different color.
Highlighting parents recursively: maybe do this on click to keep the ability to hover a node and see its direct parents?

Advanced positioning needs more thoughts. There are lots and lots of cases.
