VertexCoordinates
is an option to Graph and related functions that specifies the coordinates to use to place the center of vertices.
Details

- The following settings for VertexCoordinates can be used:
-
Automatic automatically compute vertex coordinates {v1pt1,…} place vertex vi at center coordinate pti {pt1,pt2,…} place vertex v1 at pt1 etc. - With the setting VertexCoordinates->Automatic, the center coordinates for vertices are computed according to the setting for GraphLayout.
- With the setting VertexCoordinates->{pt1,pt2,…}, the vertices {v1,v2,…} are given in the order returned by VertexList.

Scope (5)
VertexCoordinates can be used for general graphs:
Specify coordinates for some vertices:
Specify 3D coordinates for some vertices:
VertexCoordinates has higher priority than GraphLayout:
