Adding Constant Edge and Vertex Measurements

If required, you can add a constant edge or vertex measurement to a graph. This can help reveal details that are obscured by edges and vertices with large radii.

The following example shows the advantage of applying a constant vertex radius measurement when evaluating a graph. You should note that the vertex radii can be further adjusted with the Vertex radius slider.

You can add a constant edge measurement to a graph, which can facilitate the evaluation of some graphs. The name of the measurement and its value can be entered in the Name and Value dialogs, respectively.

  1. Right-click the required graph in the Data Properties and Settings panel and then choose Add a Constant Edge Measurement in the pop-up menu.
  2. Enter a name for the measurement in the Name dialog.
  3. Enter a value in the Value dialog.
  4. Click OK the add the measurement.
