Color nodes of poset

edit

I have a poset Q and an element alpha[4] of Q. If I type "alpha[4] in Q", Sage correctly responds "True".

However, when I ask Sage to plot Q with alpha[4] in a special color, I get a KeyError that looks like it can no longer identify alpha[4] as an element of Q. What is going on?

I can't attach screenshots, so here's the error message in text:

Q.plot(element_colors={"blue":[alpha[4]]})

KeyError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-27-a224aeb4e328> in <module> ----> 1 Q.plot(element_colors={"blue":[alpha[Integer(4)]]})
