I have the following Mathematica code based on the GDB1 instance from the CARP literature:

HighlightGraph[
 Graph[{1 \[UndirectedEdge] 2, 1 \[UndirectedEdge] 4, 
   1 \[UndirectedEdge] 7, 1 \[UndirectedEdge] 10, 
   1 \[UndirectedEdge] 12 , 2 \[UndirectedEdge] 3, 
   2 \[UndirectedEdge] 4, 2 \[UndirectedEdge] 9, 
   3 \[UndirectedEdge] 4, 3 \[UndirectedEdge] 5, 
   5 \[UndirectedEdge] 6, 5 \[UndirectedEdge] 11, 
   5 \[UndirectedEdge] 12, 6 \[UndirectedEdge] 7, 
   6 \[UndirectedEdge] 12, 7 \[UndirectedEdge] 8, 
   7 \[UndirectedEdge] 12, 8 \[UndirectedEdge] 10, 
   8 \[UndirectedEdge] 11, 9 \[UndirectedEdge] 10, 
   9 \[UndirectedEdge] 11, 10 \[UndirectedEdge] 11}, 
  EdgeWeight -> {13, 17, 19, 19, 4, 18, 9, 2, 20, 5, 7, 20, 11, 4, 3, 
    8, 18, 3, 10, 16, 14, 12}, EdgeStyle -> Thick, 
  VertexLabels -> Table[i -> Placed[i, Center], {i, 12}], 
  VertexLabelStyle -> Directive[White, Bold, 15], VertexSize -> 0.6, 
  GraphLayout -> {"VertexLayout" -> {"SpringElectricalEmbedding", 
      "EdgeWeighted" -> True}}], {1, Red}]

Which outputs the following weighted graph:

Small weighted graph example

On which I would like to display multiple manually entered directed routes starting and ending at the highlighted vertex 1. These routes can overlap, traversing each edge multiple times, requiring multiple distinct directed arcs between nodes. However, they cannot also be introduced as weighted edges or they will distort the topology of the graph.

I will discern different routes with different coloured edges, so being able to make a single class of different edges between nodes will suffice.

I'm stumped. Any thoughts on how to do this would be fantastic.

EDIT: see post on colouring/formatting of edges here: Weighted graph with multiple different coloured non-weighted paths - styling

    $\begingroup$ does this give something close to what you need: path = {1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 4, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1}; newedges = DirectedEdge @@@ Partition[path, 2, 1]; g2 = SetProperty[ EdgeAdd[g1, newedges], {VertexCoordinates -> GraphEmbedding[g1], VertexStyle -> {1 -> Red}, EdgeStyle -> {Alternatives @@ newedges -> Orange}}] ? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Apologies, I believe this fails to stack multiple routes. For example, how could you add two different 'path' and 'newedges' to a single 'g2'? Either by way of passing a g2 to another g3 (which I've tried and doesn't seem to be working) or by manipulating the EdgeAdd method to accept more arguments? $\endgroup$ Oct 3, 2018 at 21:37

g2 = SetProperty[EdgeAdd[g1, newedges], {VertexCoordinates -> GraphEmbedding[g1], 
   VertexStyle -> {1 -> Red}, 
   EdgeStyle -> {Alternatives @@ newedges -> Orange}}]

Update: for multiple paths

path1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 4, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1};
path2 = {1, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 10, 8, 10, 1, 10, 1, 10, 1};
newedges1 = DirectedEdge @@@ Partition[path1, 2, 1];
newedges2 = DirectedEdge @@@ Partition[path2, 2, 1]; 
g3 = SetProperty[EdgeAdd[g1, Join[newedges1, newedges2]], 
 {VertexCoordinates -> GraphEmbedding[g1], VertexStyle -> {1 -> Red}, 
 EdgeStyle -> {Alternatives @@ newedges1 -> Orange, Alternatives @@ newedges2 -> Green}}]
