Summary & Motivation
Sometimes dagre chokes on disconnected graphs with this error . Laying out the disconnected graphs independently circumvents the issue, but each disconnected graph could share the same group(s) as one of the neighboring disconnected graphs meaning if we were to stack these graphs on top of each other then there would be multiple boxes for each group. IMO this would result in easier to understand graphs. Another option is to force the graphs to be connected by adding dummy nodes/edges that we then don't render.
