"CircularEmbedding" (Graph Layout Method)

Details & Suboptions

  • The circular embedding is a graph drawing technique to position vertices of a graph on a circle.
  • The circular embedding is typically used to lay out circle graphs.
  • Possible settings to control the layout include:
  • "Offset" Automaticoffset angle
    "OptimalOrder" Trueoptimal vertex ordering to minimize edge crossings

Basic Examples  (1)

Place vertices on a circle:

"Offset"  (1)

Use the option "Offset"->offset to specify the offset angles:

"OptimalOrder"  (1)

With the setting "OptimalOrder"->True, vertices are reordered so that they lie nicely on a circle:
