node name | type | flags | description
method | rnd_cfn_string | 0 | method/strategy of placement; one of: disperse, frame, fit
location | rnd_cfn_string | 0 | placement coordinate for methods that require it; if empty, use fixed coordinates at x,y; if non-empty, it may be: mark, center
x | rnd_cfn_coord | 0 | for some methods if location is empty, X coordinate of placement
y | rnd_cfn_coord | 0 | for some methods if location is empty, Y coordinate of placement
disperse | rnd_cfn_coord | 0 | dispersion distance for the disperse method
