  /** \brief Kamada-Kawai spring layout for undirected graphs.
   *
   * This algorithm performs graph layout (in two dimensions) for
   * connected, undirected graphs. It operates by relating the layout
   * of graphs to a dynamic spring system and minimizing the energy
   * within that system. The strength of a spring between two vertices
   * is inversely proportional to the square of the shortest distance
   * (in graph terms) between those two vertices. Essentially,
   * vertices that are closer in the graph-theoretic sense (i.e., by
   * following edges) will have stronger springs and will therefore be
   * placed closer together.
   *
   * Prior to invoking this algorithm, it is recommended that the
   * vertices be placed along the vertices of a regular n-sided
   * polygon.
   *
   * \param g (IN) must be a model of Vertex List Graph, Edge List
   * Graph, and Incidence Graph and must be undirected.
   *
   * \param position (OUT) must be a model of Lvalue Property Map,
   * where the value type is a class containing fields @c x and @c y
   * that will be set to the @c x and @c y coordinates of each vertex.
   *
   * \param weight (IN) must be a model of Readable Property Map,
   * which provides the weight of each edge in the graph @p g.
   *
   * \param edge_or_side_length (IN) provides either the unit length
   * @c e of an edge in the layout or the length of a side @c s of the
   * display area, and must be either @c boost::edge_length(e) or @c
   * boost::side_length(s), respectively.
   *
   * \param done (IN) is a 4-argument function object that is passed
   * the current value of delta_p (i.e., the energy of vertex @p p),
   * the vertex @p p, the graph @p g, and a boolean flag indicating
   * whether @p delta_p is the maximum energy in the system (when @c
   * true) or the energy of the vertex being moved. Defaults to @c
   * layout_tolerance instantiated over the value type of the weight
   * map.
   *
   * \param spring_constant (IN) is the constant multiplied by each
   * spring's strength. Larger values create systems with more energy
   * that can take longer to stabilize; smaller values create systems
   * with less energy that stabilize quickly but do not necessarily
   * result in pleasing layouts. The default value is 1.
   *
   * \param index (IN) is a mapping from vertices to index values
   * between 0 and @c num_vertices(g). The default is @c
   * get(vertex_index,g).
   *
   * \param distance (UTIL/OUT) will be used to store the distance
   * from every vertex to every other vertex, which is computed in the
   * first stages of the algorithm. This value's type must be a model
   * of BasicMatrix with value type equal to the value type of the
   * weight map. The default is a a vector of vectors.
   *
   * \param spring_strength (UTIL/OUT) will be used to store the
   * strength of the spring between every pair of vertices. This
   * value's type must be a model of BasicMatrix with value type equal
   * to the value type of the weight map. The default is a a vector of
   * vectors.
   *
   * \param partial_derivatives (UTIL) will be used to store the
   * partial derivates of each vertex with respect to the @c x and @c
   * y coordinates. This must be a Read/Write Property Map whose value
   * type is a pair with both types equivalent to the value type of
   * the weight map. The default is an iterator property map.
   *
   * \returns @c true if layout was successful or @c false if a
   * negative weight cycle was detected.
