"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
