VertexRenderingFunction

VertexRenderingFunction
is an option for GraphPlot and related functions that gives a function to generate the graphics primitives to use in rendering each vertex.
MORE INFORMATION
  • VertexRenderingFunction->f specifies that each vertex should be rendered with the graphics primitives given by , where is the coordinate position where the vertex is being placed, and is its name.
  • The graphics primitives obtained by applying VertexRenderingFunction are in effect directly spliced into the graphic generated by a function like GraphPlot. Inset can be used to insert an arbitrary expression.

Scope   (2)
For large graphs, it is often better not to display vertices:
