LayeredGraph
LayeredGraph[g]
creates a graph with vertices and edges from the graph g represented as a layered plot.
LayeredGraph[{e1,e2,…}]
creates a graph with edges ej represented as a layered plot.
LayeredGraph[{…,w[ei],…}]
creates a graph with edges ei with features defined by the symbolic wrapper w.
LayeredGraph[…,vpos]
places the dominant vertex v in the plot at position pos.
Details and Options
- LayeredGraph generates a Graph object and displays it in a notebook as a layered plot of the graph.
- LayeredGraph supports the same vertices, edges and wrappers as Graph.
- LayeredGraph by default puts "dominant" vertices at the top and vertices lower in the "hierarchy" progressively further down.
- LayeredGraph[g,pos] places the dominant vertices at position pos.
- Possible positions pos are: Top, Bottom, Left, Right.
- By default, LayeredGraph places each dominant vertex at the top.
- LayeredGraph has the same options as Graph.
