Why are arrowhead sizes diminished in these directed edges?

Posted 3 years ago

Occasionally I find the size of directed edge arrowheads in a Graph[] are diminished. How to correct for this?

For example, the arrowheads of directed edges 31[DirectedEdge]261 276[DirectedEdge]198, 261[DirectedEdge]161, 30[DirectedEdge]79 are barely visible in this rendering:

Here's the code that generated it:

componentEdges = {Annotation[
    DirectedEdge[31, 261], {EdgeLabels -> None, 
     EdgeStyle -> {Dashing[None], AbsoluteThickness[2], 
       RGBColor[4/15, 40/51, 4/15]}}], 
   Annotation[
    DirectedEdge[276, 198], {EdgeLabels -> None, 
     EdgeStyle -> {Dashing[None], AbsoluteThickness[2], 
       RGBColor[4/15, 40/51, 4/15]}}],

   Annotation[

Not that I know of. Someone from Wolfram may comment on this.

Thank you Gianluca, I have implemented this in Graph[] as

EdgeStyle -> Arrowheads[.05]

I notice this is a scaled value, which must be tinkered with for each graph. Is there a means of setting an absolute size, e.g. in printers points?

Is there also a means to specify an absolute (non-scaled) size for VertexSize?

Your arrows are too small compared with the thickness of the edges. Try this option in Graph:

BaseStyle -> Arrowheads[.05]
