A Graph::Layout::Aesthetic object represents a state in the process of laying
out a graph. The idea is that the state is repeatedly modified until an
acceptable layout is reached. This is done by considering the current state
from the point of view of a number of aesthetic criteria, each of which will
provide a step along which it would like to change the current state. A
weighted average is then taken of all these steps, leading to a proposed step.
The size of this step is then limited using a decreasing parameter (the
temperature) and applied. Small random disturbances may also be applied to
avoid getting stuck in a subspace.

The package also comes with a simple commandline tool gloss.pl
(based on this package) that allows you to lay out graphs.
