+    Four simple layout functions were added:
+
+      * :func:`~retworkx.bipartite_layout`
+      * :func:`~retworkx.circular_layout`
+      * :func:`~retworkx.shell_layout`
+      * :func:`~retworkx.spiral_layout`
+
+    These can be used to adjust the layout used in visualizations, for example:
+
+    .. jupyter-execute::
+
+      import retworkx
+      from retworkx.visualization import mpl_draw
+
+      graph = retworkx.generators.path_graph(weights=list(range(24)))
+      layout = retworkx.bipartite_layout(graph, set(range(12)))
+      mpl_draw(graph, pos=layout)
+
+    .. jupyter-execute::
+
+      import retworkx
+      from retworkx.visualization import mpl_draw
+
+      graph = retworkx.generators.path_graph(weights=list(range(24)))
+      layout = retworkx.circular_layout(graph)
+      mpl_draw(graph, pos=layout)
+
+    .. jupyter-execute::
+
+      import retworkx
+      from retworkx.visualization import mpl_draw
+
+      graph = retworkx.generators.star_graph(25)
+      layout = retworkx.shell_layout(graph)
+      mpl_draw(graph, pos=layout)
+
+    .. jupyter-execute::
+
+      import retworkx
+      from retworkx.visualization import mpl_draw
+
+      graph = retworkx.generators.path_graph(weights=list(range(24)))
+      layout = retworkx.spiral_layout(graph)
+      mpl_draw(graph, pos=layout)
+
+    Or with the :func:`~retworkx.visualization.graphviz_drawer` function:
+
+    .. jupyter-execute::
+
+      import retworkx
+      from retworkx.visualization import graphviz_draw
+
+      graph = retworkx.generators.path_graph(weights=list(range(24)))
+      layout = retworkx.spiral_layout(graph)
+
+      def node_attr_fn(node):
+          point = layout[node]
+          return {
+              "shape": "circle",
+              "pos": '"%s,%s!"' % (point[0], point[1]),
+              "fillcolor": "yellow",
+              "style": "filled",
+          }
+
+      graphviz_draw(graph, node_attr_fn=node_attr_fn, method='fdp')
