VertexShapeFunction
is an option and annotation for Graph and related functions that specifies a function to use to generate primitives for rendering each vertex.
Details
- The following option settings can be used:
-
Automatic the default vertex function None do not render vertices "Name" use the vertex name "nfunc" a named vertex function func a general vertex function {vi->vfi,…} use vertex function vfi for vertex vi {pattivfi,…} use vfi for vertices matching the pattern patti - The wrapper Annotation[v,VertexShapeFunction->f] can be used when creating graphs in functions such as Graph etc.
- Use to get a list of all named vertex functions.
- VertexShapeFunction->func specifies that each vertex should be rendered with the primitives provided by func[{x,y},v,{w,h}], where {x,y} is the center, v the vertex name, and {w,h} the width and the height.
- In 3D, VertexShapeFunction->func specifies that each vertex should be rendered with the primitives provided by func[{x,y,z},v,{w,h,d}], where {x,y,z} is the center, v the vertex name and {w,h,d} the width and the height.
- The vertex function func should render the vertex primitives in the bounding box {{x-w,x+w},{y-h,y+h}} in 2D and {{x-w,x+w},{y-h,y+h},{z-d,z+d}} in 3D automatically computed by layout algorithms.

VertexShapeFunction can be used for general graphs:
Use VertexShapeFunction in an Annotation wrapper:
VertexShapeFunction works with patterns:
VertexShapeFunction can be combined with VertexStyle:
VertexShapeFunction has higher priority than VertexStyle:
VertexShapeFunction can be combined with VertexSize:
