How to add new nodes to an existing graph with fixed (coordinates) nodes?


I'm ultimately trying to create a directed graph with some of the nodes in fixed positions and the other nodes placed around them in "acceptable" positions.


It's better if I ask the question by showing an example of the code. E.g. I have this graph:


node = {11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16};
edges = {11 -> 14, 11 -> 16, 12 -> 16, 12 -> 15, 13 -> 15, 13 -> 16,
14 -> 16, 14 -> 15, 15 -> 16, 15 -> 13, 16 -> 15, 16 -> 14};
vertexposition = {{6.51493919050084`, 44.04756585632944`},

{75.59445680043342`, 50.47455242214042`},
{87.32825501506514`, 13.395648943951699`},
{28.795707353492418`, 3.420138063734413`},
{60.729164933330765`, 16.915777496473908`},
{51.85158892659126`, 25.803692768150313`}};

Show[
Graph[node, edges, VertexCoordinates -> vertexposition, Frame -> True,
VertexSize -> {"Scaled", .02}, VertexLabels -> "Name"]
, FrameTicks -> True, ImageSize -> 600]


I have these fixed critical nodes with positions that are important to me, however I have many other nodes that I want to add to the graph and connect to these nodes without having to specifically add their coordinates.


For example, I want to remove the connection between node $11$ and node $14$ but add three arbitrary nodes that link in series to connect nodes $11$ and $14$ without having to define their position, and have mathematica put an "appropriate" default position for them. That is, I don't want to add the nodes and have them all bunch up at the origin; the graph should look more organic.


Here's the kicker, I want to add edgeweights to all the nodes and don't necessarily want them to space out according to the edgeweights.



Answer



The following code is made after OP's response. It fullfils what I think it should. Except that there is no way to manually delete notes, I wanted to do this neatly but I've run out of time. :)


Previous code can be found in edit history.


There is a Checkbox which will enable Locators (for additional node). It seems it can not be done easier without EventHandler and PassEventsUp/Down.


Description:




  • Click -> select a node

  • Click again -> unselect

  • Click no other node -> create new node between

  • New node can be dragged since it is a locator. (after switching checkbox)


new:



  • If you create new node, the order matters, so if you click on 11 and then 12, then the connection 11->12 will be replaced but 12->11 will not, it will create new loop.





DynamicModule[{acc, new, newEdg, newNodes, newPos, newInd},

Grid[{{
LocatorPane[Dynamic@newPos,

Dynamic[
Graph[
Map[f, node~Join~newNodes],
edges,
VertexCoordinates -> (vertexposition~Join~newPos), VertexLabels -> "Name",

VertexSize -> {Sequence @@ Thread[node -> Table[{"Scaled", .05}, {6}]],
{"Scaled", .02}},
ImageSize -> 600, EdgeShapeFunction -> {Arrow[#, 2] &},
VertexLabelStyle -> {Bold, 20}, AspectRatio -> Automatic,
Frame -> True, FrameTicks -> All, PlotRange -> {{0, 100}, {0, 60}}]
], Appearance -> None]
,
Column[{
Checkbox[Dynamic@loc],
If[loc, "Locators on", "Locators off"]

}]
}}]
,
Initialization :> (
new = {}; acc = {}; newNodes = {}; newPos = {}; loc = False;
f := If[loc, #,
Style[Button[#,
Which[
acc == {#}, acc = {}
,

Length@acc == 1, AppendTo[acc, #];
AppendTo[newPos,
Mean[Pick[(vertexposition~Join~newPos), (node~Join~newNodes), #][[1]] & /@ acc]];
newInd = Last[node~Join~newNodes] + 1;
AppendTo[newNodes, newInd];
edges = DeleteCases[edges, Rule @@ acc];
AppendTo[edges, #] & /@ {First@acc -> newInd, newInd -> Last@acc};
acc = {};
,
True, acc = {#}]

], If[MemberQ[acc, #], Red, Blue]]] &;

node = {11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16};
edges = {11 -> 14, 11 -> 16, 12 -> 16, 12 -> 15, 13 -> 15,
13 -> 16, 14 -> 16, 14 -> 15, 15 -> 16, 15 -> 13, 16 -> 15,
16 -> 14};
vertexposition = {{6.51, 44.04}, {75.59, 50.47}, {87.32, 13.39}, {28.79, 3.42},
{60.72, 16.91}, {51.85, 25.80}};)]

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
