PlanarGraph

PlanarGraph[{e1,e2,…}]

yields a planar graph with edges ej.

PlanarGraph[{v1,v2,…},{e1,e2,…}]

yields a planar graph with vertices vi and edges ej.

PlanarGraph[{…,wi[vi],…},{…,wj[ej],…}]

yields a planar graph with vertex and edge properties defined by the symbolic wrappers wk.

PlanarGraph[{vivj,…}]

uses rules vivj to specify a planar graph.

Basic Examples (2)

A planar graph:

The three-dimensional HypercubeGraph is planar:

Scope (25)

Connectivity (6)

Create an undirected planar graph using  characters; enter the character as ue:

Create a directed planar graph using  characters; enter the character as de:

Create a directed planar graph from a list of rules:

Create an undirected planar graph from a list of rules:

Use VertexList and EdgeList to get vertices and edges:

The ordering for edges is the order in which they were entered:

The ordering for vertices is the order in which they were entered in the edges:

Use an explicit vertex list to control the ordering used by VertexList:

The input vertex list controls the resulting vertex order:

Any expression can be used as vertices:

Wrappers (5)

Use wrappers on vertices or edges:

Wrappers can be nested:

Add interactive behavior by wrappers such as Tooltip:

Any object can be used in the tooltip:

Use Button to trigger actions when clicking an edge or vertex:

Use PopupWindow to provide information drilldown:

Styling (8)

Set the style for all vertices or edges:

Style individual vertices or edges using options:

Use wrappers for individual styling:

Adjust the size of vertices using symbolic sizes:

Or use sizes in terms of the smallest distance between vertex centers:

Use built-in collections for VertexShapeFunction:

Rounded shapes:

Concave shapes:

Draw individual vertices:

Combine with a default vertex function:

Use any Graphics, Image, or Graphics3D as a vertex shape:

Use built-in collections for EdgeShapeFunction:

Directed edges including solid arrows:

Line arrows:

Specify an annotation for vertices:

Edges:

Graph itself:

DirectedEdges (2)

By default, a directed planar graph is generated when giving a list of rules:

Use DirectedEdges->False to interpret rules as undirected edges:

Use DirectedEdge or UndirectedEdge to directly specify whether a graph is directed or not:

EdgeLabels (7)

Label the edge 12:

Label all edges:

Use any expression as a label:

Use Placed with symbolic locations to control label placement along an edge:

Use explicit coordinates to place labels:

Vary positions within the label:

VertexCoordinates (3)

By default, any vertex coordinates are computed automatically:

Extract the resulting vertex coordinates using AbsoluteOptions:

Use it to generate vertex coordinates for a graph:

VertexCoordinates has higher priority than GraphLayout:
