\arguments{
\item{network}{A CographNetwork object.}

\item{iterations}{Number of iterations (default: 200).}

\item{cooling}{Rate of temperature decrease for exponential cooling (default: 0.95).}

\item{repulsion}{Repulsion constant (default: 1.5).}

\item{attraction}{Attraction constant (default: 1).}

\item{seed}{Random seed for reproducibility.}

\item{initial}{Optional initial coordinates (matrix or data frame).
For animations, pass the previous frame's layout to ensure smooth transitions.}

\item{max_displacement}{Maximum distance a node can move from its initial
position (default: NULL = no limit). Useful for animations to prevent
large jumps between frames. Values like 0.05-0.1 work well.}

\item{anchor_strength}{Strength of force pulling nodes toward initial positions
(default: 0). Higher values (e.g., 0.5-2) keep nodes closer to their starting
positions. Only applies when \code{initial} is provided.}

\item{area}{Area parameter controlling node spread (default: 1.5). Higher values
spread nodes further apart.}

\item{gravity}{Gravity force pulling nodes toward center (default: 0). Higher
values (e.g., 0.5-2) prevent nodes from drifting apart.}

\item{init}{Initialization method: "random" (default) or "circular".}

\item{cooling_mode}{Cooling schedule: "exponential" (default, uses \code{cooling}
parameter), "vcf" (Variable Cooling Factor - adapts based on movement),
or "linear" (linear decrease over iterations).}

\item{...}{Additional arguments (ignored).}
}
\value{
Data frame with x, y coordinates.
}
\description{
Compute node positions using the Fruchterman-Reingold force-directed
algorithm. Nodes connected by edges are attracted to each other while
all nodes repel each other.

\examples{
adj <- matrix(c(0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0), nrow = 4)
net <- CographNetwork$new(adj)
coords <- layout_spring(net, seed = 42)

# For animations: use previous layout as initial with constraints
coords2 <- layout_spring(net, initial = coords, max_displacement = 0.05)

# With gravity to keep nodes centered
coords3 <- layout_spring(net, gravity = 0.5, area = 2, seed = 42)

# With circular initialization and VCF cooling
coords4 <- layout_spring(net, init = "circular", cooling_mode = "vcf", seed = 42)
