Distance between nodes

[Hofsmo]

Hi,
I really like GraphRecipes for plotting smaller electric networks. However, when the number of vertices increases the graphs get unreadable. This could easily be fixed if I could change the distance between the vertices. I have been looking a lot, but not figured out to do this. I was therefore wondering if anyone knows how to change the distance between the vertices?

Cheers Sigurd

The formatter tries to make the vertices as far apart as possible. You can change the method used with the method keyword argument, which may give a better layout for your graph. Other than that the two levers that I tend to use are the nodesize and the size of the plot, which gives the formatter more room to work with.

using Plots
using GraphRecipes
using LightGraphs

g = watts_strogatz(800,2,0.01)

Compare the following plots of the graph:

graphplot(g,method=:spring)

graphplot(g,size=(1000,1000),curvature=false,method=:spring,nodesize=0.05)

Beyond that, you could consider manually passing the x-y coordinates of the graph
