'Force' algorithm in plot MST

I am curious about the algorithm that is involved in creating the final configuration of nodes when I plot an MST (or other graph) using the 'force' argument.

It seems to be some kind of force-directed graph approach but does anyone know any more about the specific type of algorithm used (Barnes-Hut, etc.)?

Thanks--
