"StarEmbedding" (Graph Layout Method)

  • Vertex layout for GraphLayout.
  • Use star embedding to lay out vertices of a graph.

Details & Suboptions

  • The star embedding is a graph-drawing technique to position vertices of a graph on a circle with a center.
  • The star embedding is typically used to lay out star-like graphs.
  • Possible settings to control the layout include:
  • "Offset" Automaticoffset angle
    "Center" Automaticcenter vertex
    "Rotation" Automaticlayout rotation

Basic Examples  (2)

Place vertices on a star shape:

"StarEmbedding" works best for star-like graphs:

Options  (3)

"Center"  (1)

Use the option "Center"center to specify the center:

"Offset"  (1)

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

"Rotation"  (1)

Use "Rotation"r to rotate the layout:
