Work Flow Vertical

Is it possible to change the work flow to a vertical dimension rather than horizontal. It seems there are some advantages to this, namely component titles would be considerably easier to read. The visual relationship between a component and a slider would be better (in my opinion).

Nope. But you can use Bifocals to see the names horizontaly, and combine it with the visualization of icons (Display > Draw icons). Then you have both options at the same time, which is best when you are not familiar with the components.

Well, quick code to simulate it. You can save it as UserObject if you want.

Burn it.
It only puts the name of the components horizontally.
If you want to use it frequently, save it as a userObject from File > Create User Object.

Would Grasshopper be better if the workflow was in the vertical axis as opposed to the horizontal?

By default 'component titles' would be readable.

A Mouse wheel scrolls so one could intuitively navigate the layout.

I sense it would be. Many here might suggest a symbol is a solution but I am not so sure. Why did David Rutten and co. go horizontal I wonder?
