When plot graph vertex labels cut the edges, how to avoid it?

Answer 1

[Sugandhi]

Hi Chathuranga kumara,

I understand that labels of nodes in the graph are overlapping with edges.

One possible workaround could be manipulating graph plot properties by providing custom node coordinates for the graph nodes, which can be done by setting XData or YData properties of graph plot object. Another way could be by using layout method of graph plot object.

>>layout(H)

Above command changes the layout of graph plot H by using an automatic choice of layout method based on the structure of the graph. The layout function modifies the XData and YData properties of H.

For more understanding kindly go through the following links –

You can remove the node labels as follows:

h=plot(graph(bucky));

h.NodeLabel={};
