Hello Adam,
MATLAB provides several ways to create and visualize network graphs. You can use the graph and digraph functions for creating undirected and directed graphs, respectively. Here is a basic guide on how to generate and visualize a network graph in MATLAB.
- Create a Graph: Use the graph or digraph function to create a graph object.
- Add Nodes and Edges: Define the nodes and edges of the graph.
- Visualize the Graph: Use the plot function to visualize the graph.
Example code for undirected graph:
% Define the nodes and edges
nodes = {'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'};
edges = [1 2; 1 3; 2 3; 2 4; 3 5; 4 5];
% Create a graph object
G = graph(edges(:,1), edges(:,2), [], nodes);
% Plot the graph
figure;
h = plot(G, 'Layout', 'force');
% Customize the plot
title('Network Graph');
highlight(h, [1, 2], 'EdgeColor', 'r'); % Example of highlighting an edge
Example code for directed graph:
% Define the nodes and edges for a directed graph
nodes = {'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'};
edges = [1 2; 1 3; 2 3; 2 4; 3 5; 4 5];
% Create a directed graph object
DG = digraph(edges(:,1), edges(:,2), [], nodes);
% Plot the directed graph
figure;
h = plot(DG, 'Layout', 'layered');
% Customize the plot
title('Directed Network Graph');
highlight(h, [1, 2], 'EdgeColor', 'r'); % Example of highlighting an edge
