VertexSize doesn't scale with Graph layout?

I wonder about how I could make a Graph scale automatically when I vary the size of the vertices.

I would like to visualize information with a Graph. The vertices all have e.g. additional info like a weight which I would like to visualize with the vertices drawn with different sizes.

However, when I define the sizes, the graph keeps the original (as opposed to the new) layout. The graph then becomes invisible.

Graph[{1 \[UndirectedEdge] 2, 2 \[UndirectedEdge] 3,3 \[UndirectedEdge] 1, 3 \[UndirectedEdge] 4}]

shows:

Standard Graph

Now I add the "weight"

Graph[{1 \[UndirectedEdge] 2, 2 \[UndirectedEdge] 3,3 \[UndirectedEdge] 1, 3 \[UndirectedEdge] 4},VertexSize -> {1 -> 1.1, 2 -> 1.2, 3 -> 1.3, 4 -> 1.4}]

This shows:

not scaled

What I would like is that the Graph would be like

nice

Any thoughts?

This is a graph currently working on. As you can see one vertex hits his neighbour. I would expect MM to or reposition this vertex a bit further or to scale down all nodes. Of course this can be done by dividing the vertexes by a number. But this is manual work to see what looks best. I hope there is another way.

Answer

Does the following do what you want?

WeightedGraph[edges_, weights_, options___]:=
  Block[{maxweight=Max[#[[2]]&/@weights]},
    Graph[edges,VertexSize->((#[[1]]->0.9*#[[2]]/maxweight)&/@weights),options]]


WeightedGraph[{1 \[UndirectedEdge] 2, 2 \[UndirectedEdge] 3,
               3 \[UndirectedEdge] 1, 3 \[UndirectedEdge] 4},
   (*weights:*) {1 -> 1.1, 2 -> 1.2, 3 -> 1.3, 4 -> 1.4}]

Mathematica graphics

The second line is basically your Graph call, except that it uses WeightedGraph instead of Graph, and the weights don't have VertexSize-> in front of them.

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Adding a thick curve to a regionplot

Suppose we have the following simple RegionPlot: f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}] Now I'm trying to change the curve defined by $y=g[x]$ into a thick black curve, while leaving all other boundaries in the plot unchanged. I've tried adding the region $y=g[x]$ and playing with the plotstyle, which didn't work, and I've tried BoundaryStyle, which changed all the boundaries in the plot. Now I'm kinda out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated! Answer With f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 You can use Epilog to add the thick line: RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}, PlotPoints -> 50, Epilog -> (Plot[g[x], {x, 0, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Thick}][[1]]), PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]], Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]],
