Function: create_graph
    create_graph (v_list, e_list)
    create_graph (n, e_list)
    create_graph (v_list, e_list, directed)

v_list is a list of vertices [v1, v2, ..., vn] or a list of vertices together with vertex labels [[v1, l1], [v2 ,l2], ..., [vn, ln]]. A vertex may be any integer, and v_list may contain vertices in any order. A label may be any Maxima expression, and two or more vertices may have the same label.

n is the number of vertices. Vertices will be identified by integers from 0 to n-1.

63.2.5 Visualization

Function: draw_graph

    draw_graph (graph, option1, ..., optionk)

Draws the graph using the draw package.

The algorithm used to position vertices is specified by the optional argument program. The default value is program=spring_embedding. draw_graph can also use the graphviz programs for positioning vertices, but graphviz must be installed separately.
