EdgeShapeFunction

EdgeShapeFunction

is an option and annotation for Graph and related functions that specifies a function to use to generate primitives for rendering each edge.

Details

  • The following option settings can be used:
  • Automaticthe default edge function
    Nonedo not render edges
    "name"a named edge function
    funca general edge function
    {vivj->efij,…}use edge function efij for edge vivj
    {pattiefi,…}use edge function efi for edges matching the pattern patti
  • The wrapper Annotation[vw,EdgeShapeFunction->f] can be used when creating graphs in functions such as Graph etc.
  • Use ResourceData["EdgeShapeFunction"] to get a list of all named edge functions.
  • EdgeShapeFunction->func specifies that each edge should be rendered with the primitives provided by func[{{x1,y1},{x2,y2},…},vw], where {{x1,y1},{x2,y2},…} are line segments and vw is the edge.

Basic Examples  (4)

Draw edges using a predefined edge function:

Specify an edge function for an individual edge:

Combine with a different default edge function:

Use an Annotation wrapper to specify individual edge functions:

Draw edges by running a program:

Scope  (10)

EdgeShapeFunction Specification  (7)

EdgeShapeFunction can be used for general graphs:

Matrix graphs:

Special graphs:

Random graphs:

Use EdgeShapeFunction in an Annotation wrapper:

EdgeShapeFunction works with patterns:

EdgeShapeFunction can be combined with EdgeStyle:

EdgeShapeFunction has higher priority than EdgeStyle:

Possible Issues  (1)

Using Rule to indicate edges does not work:

Use parentheses to get correct parsing:
