CommunityGraphPlot

CommunityGraphPlot[g]

generates a plot showing the community structure of the graph g.

CommunityGraphPlot[g,{{vi1,vi2,…},…}]

generates a plot for the graph g with communities {vi1,vi2,…}, ….

CommunityGraphPlot[g,{…,wj[{vi1,…}],…}]

generates a plot with highlighting features defined by the symbol wrappers wj.

CommunityGraphPlot[{vi1vj1,vi2vj2,…},…]

generates a plot for a graph in which vertex vik is connected to vertex vjk.

CommunityGraphPlot[m,…]

generates a plot for a graph represented by the adjacency matrix m.

Details and Options

  • CommunityGraphPlot attempts to draw the vertices grouped into communities.
  • The following wrappers wi can be used for communities:
  • Annotation[a,label]provide an annotation
    Button[a,action]define an action to execute when the element is clicked
    EventHandler[a,…]define a general event handler for the element
    Hyperlink[a,uri]make the element act as a hyperlink
    Labeled[a,…]display the element with labeling
    PopupWindow[a,cont]attach a popup window to the element
    Annotation[a,namevalue]set an annotation for the element
    StatusArea[a,label]display in the status area when moused over
    Style[a,opts]show the element using the specified styles
    Tooltip[a,label]attach an arbitrary tooltip to the element
  • CommunityGraphPlot has the same options as Graph, with the following additions and changes:
  • CommunityRegionStyle Automaticstyle of community region
    CommunityBoundaryStyle Automaticstyle of community boundary
    CommunityLabels Nonelabels for communities
    Method Automaticmethods to use
    PlotLegends Nonelegend for communities
  • Possible settings for PlotTheme include common base themes:
  • "Business"a bright, modern look appropriate for business presentations or infographics
    "Detailed"identify data by employing labels and tooltips
    "Marketing"elegant, eye-catching design suitable for marketing needs
    "Minimal"simple graph
    "Monochrome"single-color design
    "Scientific"candid design useful for analyzing detailed data with labels and tooltips
    "Web"clean, bold design suitable for a consumer website or blog
    "Classic"historical design of graph to remain compatible with existing uses

Options  (17)

AspectRatio  (2)

By default, CommunityGraphPlot automatically determines the height to width ratio for the plot:

Make the height the same as the width with AspectRatio1:

CommunityBoundaryStyle  (4)

The default community boundary style is a gray line:

Use black boundary lines:

Use None to not show boundary lines:

Alternate between red and dashed boundary lines:

CommunityLabels  (3)

Generate labels for communities:

Use Labeled to specify individual labels:

Use Placed to control the placement of labels:

CommunityRegionStyle  (3)

The default community region style is None:

This can also be obtained with CommunityRegionStyle->None:

Use green colors on community regions:

Alternate between red and blue colors on community regions:

Method  (2)

By default, CommunityGraphPlot uses a force-directed layout:

This can also be obtained with Method->"SpringElectrical":

Use Method->"Hierarchical" for a hierarchical layout:

PlotLegends  (3)

Generate a legend for communities:

Use Legended to specify individual legend entries:

Use Placed to control the placement of legends:
