The default layout will be ugly - Drag around the text nodes as you please and add graphics - Edit the Org mode text tree and update the text nodes in Inkscape again with C-M-x I use this for things like mindmaps. There are more possibilities but the above scenario should give a hint anymay. -- Joakim Verona
