I want to find a minimum dominating set of CubeGraph(5) and display it. However, I found that the drawing of CubeGraph(5) is very poor, with overlapping vertices and intersections between vertices and edges. How can I make Sage provide a slightly better drawing?

g1 = graphs.CubeGraph(5)
g1.relabel()
m=g1.dominating_set()
g1.plot(vertex_colors={"red": m})

{0: [1, 17, 19, 22, 7], 1: [0, 2, 6, 23, 25], 2: [1, 21, 22, 26, 29], 3: [18, 19, 7, 11, 27], 4: [16, 17, 22, 29, 31], 5: [17, 19, 11, 13, 31], 6: [1, 7, 10, 26, 27], 7: [0, 3, 6, 8, 15], 8: [16, 18, 22, 7, 26], 9: [16, 18, 11, 12, 31], 10: [6, 25, 30, 14, 15], 11: [3, 5, 9, 14, 15], 12: [20, 9, 28, 30, 14], 13: [5, 23, 25, 28, 14], 14: [10, 11, 27, 12, 13], 15: [16, 17, 7, 10, 11], 16: [4, 8, 9, 30, 15], 17: [0, 4, 5, 25, 15], 18: [3, 20, 8, 24, 9], 19: [0, 3, 5, 23, 24], 20: [18, 21, 26, 27, 12], 21: [2, 20, 23, 24, 28], 22: [0, 2, 4, 8, 24], 23: [1, 19, 21, 27, 13], 24: [18, 19, 21, 22, 31], 25: [1, 17, 10, 13, 29], 26: [2, 20, 6, 8, 30], 27: [3, 20, 6, 23, 14], 28: [21, 12, 13, 29, 31], 29: [2, 4, 25, 28, 30], 30: [16, 10, 26, 12, 29], 31: [4, 5, 24, 9, 28]}

Try to add parameter layout='spring', run a few times and see it it gives anything you like Drawing will be different each time.

To remove the default vertex positions, try

sage: g1.set_pos({})
sage: g1.show(method='js')
sage: g1.plot()

An answer to this question is in the documentation of the cube graph generator (graphs.CubeGraph?) : use parameter embedding.

g1 = graphs.CubeGraph(5, embedding=2)
g1.relabel()
m = g1.dominating_set()
g1.plot(vertex_colors={"red": m})

I use 3 useful tweaks in making graphs: 1. Adjust the vertex size, 2. Adjust the distance between vertices, 3. arrange the vertices around a circle. Try the following code:

g1 = graphs.CubeGraph(5)
g1.relabel()
m=g1.dominating_set()
g1.set_pos(g1.layout_circular())
g1.plot(vertex_colors={"red": m}, vertex_size=400, figsize=[8,8])
  1. was done with vertex_size=400. This allows the labels to fit better. You can, of course, use a larger number. 2. was accomplished with figsize=[8,8] by making the graphic image bigger. 3. is accomplished by g1.set_pos(g1.layout_circular()) to give a circular layout. The result of the code is below:

To make your graphs even nicer, you can use LaTeX. An example can be found here using sagetex combined with Sage and LaTeX to produce the Petersen graph.

The default embedding may assign the same position to 2 vertices, here 12 and 29. However, the generator proposes an alternative embedding that avoids this issue.

Thanks, I didn't notice that. I use circular layout when I am not happy with positioning. I've edited my answer to show how.
