VertexCoordinates

VertexCoordinates
is an option to Graph and related functions that specifies the coordinates to use to place the center of vertices.

	Automatic	automatically compute vertex coordinates
	{pt₁,pt₂,...}	place vertex at etc.

With the setting VertexCoordinates->Automatic, the center coordinates for vertices are computed according to the setting for GraphLayout.

With the setting VertexCoordinates, the vertices are given in the order returned by VertexList.

By default any vertex coordinates are computed automatically:

Specify all vertex coordinates:

In this case putting them on a parabola:

By default any vertex coordinates are computed automatically:

Out[1]=

Specify all vertex coordinates:

Out[1]=

In this case putting them on a parabola:

Out[2]=

VertexCoordinates can be used for general graphs:

Matrix graphs:

Special graphs:

Use an automatic layout of a molecule:

Also specify the vertex coordinates:

Automatically draw a graph from its adjacency matrix:

Use specific embedding by setting vertex coordinates:

Generate a circle layout:

Grid layout:

Discrete spiral layout:

Generate a path graph with a specified layout:

Highlight the vertices on the inner circle:

All vertex coordinates in a list follow the order given by VertexList:
