How could I make both vertices and edges moveable like this.
(source: https://csacademy.com/app/graph_editor/)

(In the image only nodes are movable but I would like to do this for edges as well) enter image description here

Graph[{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, {1 \[UndirectedEdge] 3, 
  1 \[UndirectedEdge] 5, 1 \[UndirectedEdge] 6, 2 \[UndirectedEdge] 5,
   2 \[UndirectedEdge] 6, 1 \[UndirectedEdge] 6, 
  3 \[UndirectedEdge] 4, 3 \[UndirectedEdge] 5, 3 \[UndirectedEdge] 6,
   5 \[UndirectedEdge] 6}, VertexLabels -> "Name"]

    $\begingroup$ Something like this is coming in the next version of the IGraph/M package, if I ever get to it ... stay tuned! $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Szabolcs that's nice. Is there any sample so I can try now? $\endgroup$

Use the option PerformanceGoal -> "Quality" in Graph

g1 = Graph[{1 -> 2, 2 <-> 3, 3 -> 1, 1 -> 3}, 
  VertexLabels -> Placed["Name", Center], VertexSize -> {v_ :> v/10}, 
  VertexStyle -> Directive[EdgeForm[{Thick, Black}], White], 
  VertexLabelStyle -> Large, PerformanceGoal -> "Quality"]

To move vertices interactively (with the edges adjusting automatically to new vertex locations), use Show @ g1 to get a Graphics object which can be interactively manipulated after double-clicking on it:

Show @ g1

  • $\begingroup$ Would it be possible to move the edges as you like? I tried but the edges got separated. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @hana, can't think of a simple way to get full interactivity. See these Q/As on DynamicLocation for some examples that you might find useful. $\endgroup$
