Positioning VertexLabels

george2 · October 30, 2013, 3:06pm

I’m working with a graph that has relatively long vertex labels, and the default positioning has them overwriting each other. I’d like to set the position and orientation of specific vertex labels. I haven’t found a way to do that, and I’d appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
George

The reference page for VertexLabels, under Details, has the syntax for specifying label positions.

Rotate should help with orientation, but I don’t know without experimenting where it would go. Probably in VertexLabelStyle.

Thanks! I’ll give it a try.

Thanks for the pointer. I discovered that the Examples section of the documentation for VertexLabels has extensive examples of exactly what I was looking for.
