Hello!

Could you pleas advise me the best way to plot graph with cycles and make it looks like tree? Here is the sample picture of result I'd like to have:

Plot on this pictures have 'layers', is there any chance to get something like this in Sage? I tried this:

t = DiGraph()
t.add_edge((0,1))
t.add_edge((0,2))
t.add_edge((0,3))
t.add_edge((0,4))

t.add_edge((4,9))
t.add_edge((3,9))
t.add_edge((2,9))
t.add_edge((1,9))

t.plot()

but the result is far from desired.

Thanks.

You can use:

t.plot(pos=t.layout_acyclic())

If you get arrows pointing up it means you don't have the dot2tex package installed (you can check this with sage.graphs.dot2tex_utils.have_dot2tex()), and sage does the positioning itself (by calling t.layout_acyclic_dummy()). Just run install_package('dot2tex-2.8.7-2') (perhaps the version number will change one day, type optional_packages() to see all packages available).

You can also manually flip sage's positioning:

l = t.layout_acyclic_dummy()
t.plot(pos=dict([[v,[l[v][0],-l[v][1]]] for v in t.vertices()]))

or rotate it like in the image in the question:

l = t.layout_acyclic_dummy()
t.plot(pos=dict([[v,[l[v][1],l[v][0]]] for v in t.vertices()]))

This method works great, thank you! But is it possible somehow change orientation of the result tree-like graph? Something like tree_orientation='down' effect for actual tree.

Ok, I checked what happens and updated my answer.

Thank you! This solution works perfectly correct.
