My main chart boxes have other small boxes attached to them using the ShapeNode.SubordinateGroup feature. The software can hide these extra boxes by setting Visible to false - this reduces screen clutter for users. However when I call TreeLayout.Arrange() the extra space I hoped to save is not closed up - the size of the invisible boxes is taken into account. Is this correct? If it's a breaking change to change the functionality could we have a optional parameter to the .Arrange() function to ignore invisible boxes?

pic4 shows the situation before boxes and made invisible and pic5 is after they are made invisible and .Arrange() called. The spacing is the same.

or you might toggle TreeLayout.NodeDistance between full and decluttered values.
