Hi, I plot graphs on small diagrams. With colored or thick edge lines then the nodes and the edges overlap. The edge line overwrites the nodes which looks ugly. What can be done about that? I already tried to change the sep attribute with no effect. Thanks, Franz Quehenberger V <- letters[1:10] M <- 1:4 g1 <- randomGraph(V, M, .2) z <- getDefaultAttrs() z$edge$color="red" z$edge$weight=5 plot(g1,"neato",attrs=z)
