I am coming at this from two different angles, both with an eye towards stars clones implementing functionality.

It is easy to lay out a map using random x and y location for planets.

There are a number of tools that lay things out, UC.ZIP will lay it out according to a bitmap, and conceptually there are likely algorithms that lay out according to certain shapes like spirals.

But I am having trouble finding information on how to do this.

Does anyone have leads or source code?
