Thanks for the quick answers.  Bertrand, I did what you suggested:

http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Graphs/SideBySideGraphs

It will be a good temporary fix. However, as Eric mentioned, the "nice
layout, labeling, and selection" that happens with the GraphLayoutView
is missing :(

Can any Views experts out there comment on if adding this "side by
side" (or more generally, n x m) layout could be added to some of the
Views?

Thanks,

David
