HighlightGraph

HighlightGraph[g,{a1,a2,…}]

highlights the ai that can be vertices, edges, or subgraphs of g.

HighlightGraph[g,{…,wj[aj],…}]

highlights using the symbolic wrappers wj.

HighlightGraph[{vw,…},…]

uses rules vw to specify the graph g.

Details and Options

  • The following wrappers can be used:
  • Annotation[a,namevalue]set an annotation for the element
    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
    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
  • HighlightGraph takes the same options as Graph.
  • Styles and other specifications for vertices and edges are taken to apply to the highlighted elements ai.
