Flow chart layout method and device, equipment and storage medium

The invention provides a flow chart layout method and device, equipment and a storage medium. Relates to the technical field of Internet. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring data information of a to-be-arranged flow chart, wherein the data information comprises node information of a plurality of nodes and side information of a plurality of sides; selecting a first node set from the plurality of nodes based on the node information of the plurality of nodes and the side information of the plurality of sides, the first node set comprising a plurality of effective nodes; determining layout information of the plurality of effective nodes, wherein the layout information comprises hierarchical information and spacing information of the plurality of effective nodes; and based on the layering information and the spacing information of the plurality of effective nodes, carrying out layout on the plurality of effective nodes so as to complete layout of the flow chart. When the flow chart is arranged, onl
