>> 
>> In this mode, users can manually drag and place nodes anywhere within the space, giving them complete control over the visual arrangement of the graph. Connections between nodes will be rendered as straight (or S curved) lines, without recalculating or enforcing hierarchical constraints.
>> 
>> This feature is ideal for users who need a flexible, non-restrictive way to organize and visualize complex graph structures in a customized and intuitive manner. The free placement of nodes will remain persistent until the layout is reset or another layout mode is selected.
