Is there a programmable method for converting a Graph to Graphics in Mathematica 9? There is a method of doing it manually by using the context menu on an existing Graph display but I would like to do it by operating on the saved name of a Graph.
GraphPlot will give a Graphics object from a Graph input.
GraphPlot
Graphics
Graph
But that is far from the same "graphics" that is in the Graph display. It doesn't even have the same vertex layout.
Select cell containing graph, then Copy As (in Edit pulldown) PDF or Bitmap.
