Node distance & crossings for FlowLayout

When I switch from TreeLayout to FlowLayout, I get a greater distance between nodes and many link crossings that are unnecessary. I am using the same NodeDistance of 5 for both layouts, and for FlowLayout I have VerticalGroupOffset and HorizontalGroupOFfset both set to 10. Any hints for how to decrease this spacing and eliminate the crossings but still use FlowLayout. I think that I need FlowLayout over TreeLayout, b/c a business case came up yesterday of needing 2 parent nodes to 'own' the same group of child nodes (think 'co-manager' on an org chart).

If I could figure out how the Insert Image button on this forum is supposed to work then I'd insert screen caps.

Try LayeredLayout instead of TreeLayout. The FlowLayout class cannot be used out of the box with any chart. It requires a list of rules for the placement of connected items, and it infers what rules to apply by checking the string identifiers assigned to DiagramItem.LayoutTraits[LogicID].
