GraphCoordinates

GraphCoordinates[g, options]
calculates a visually appealing 2D layout of the vertices of the graph g and returns the coordinates of the vertices.

MORE INFORMATION

To use GraphCoordinates, you first need to load the Graph Utilities Package using Needs["GraphUtilities`"].

GraphCoordinates returns the coordinates of the vertices as computed using a graph drawing algorithm. It is useful when the coordinates of the vertices are needed, rather than a drawing of the graph, or when one needs to draw a graph repeatedly using the same layout but different style.

GraphCoordinates accepts the same options as GraphPlot.

Basic Examples (1)

Needs["GraphUtilities`"]

This plots a graph:

This gives the coordinates of the vertices in the previous drawing:

This plots the graph with two different styles, using the layout already calculated:

The relationship between vertices and coordinates is given by the following:
