MultiedgeStyle

MultiedgeStyle

is an option for GraphPlot and related functions that specifies how to draw multiple edges.

Details

  • Typical settings for MultiedgeStyle include:
  • Automaticdraw multiple edges for graphs given by explicit rules
    Allalways draw multiple edges
    Nonenever draw multiple edges
    δspread multiple edges by scaled distance δ
  • With MultiedgeStyle->Automatic, multiple edges are not drawn for graphs specified by adjacency matrices.

Basic Examples  (2)

Draw multiple edges:

Wolfram Language code: GraphPlot[{1 -> 2, 1 -> 2, 1 -> 3, 1 -> 4, 1 -> 5, 2 -> 3}]

Draw multiple edges for a graph specified by its adjacency matrix:

Wolfram Language code: GraphPlot[SparseArray[{{1, 2} -> 2, {1, 3} -> 1, {1, 4} -> 1, {1, 5} -> 1, {2, 3} -> 1}, {5, 5}], MultiedgeStyle -> All]

Scope  (4)

Spread multiple edges by a specified scaled distance:

Wolfram Language code: Table[GraphPlot[{1 -> 2, 1 -> 2, 1 -> 3, 1 -> 4, 1 -> 5, 2 -> 3}, MultiedgeStyle -> s], {s, {1 / 5., 1 / 4., 1 / 3.}}]

Multiedges for a hierarchical-style drawing:

Wolfram Language code: LayeredGraphPlot[{1 -> 2, 2 -> 3, 3 -> 4, 1 -> 4, 1 -> 4}]

Draw several edges:

Wolfram Language code: GraphPlot[{1 -> 2, 1 -> 2, 1 -> 2, 1 -> 2, 1 -> 2, 1 -> 3, 1 -> 4, 1 -> 5, 2 -> 3}]

Draw several edges for a graph specified by a generalized adjacency matrix:

Wolfram Language code: GraphPlot[SparseArray[{{1, 2} -> 5, {1, 3} -> 1, {1, 4} -> 1, {1, 5} -> 1, {2, 3} -> 1}, {5, 5}], MultiedgeStyle -> All]
