Hello
As per my understanding of your query you wish to customize the position and orientation of the nodes so that they can be seen easily. A possible workaround to achieve the same is by removing the labels and replace them with your own matching text labels. That way you have complete control over the placement of each label. The following code is an example of how you can change the position of a label for a digraph.
G=digraph(s,t,weights,16);
p=plot(G);
p.NodeColor='red';
p.LineWidth=weights;
%Xdata and Ydata are positions of the node starting from 1
p.XData=[10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 60 50 60 70];
p.YData=[30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 60 90 90 90];
%Changing all nodes' labels properties.
text(p.XData-2,p.YData+5,p.NodeLabel, ... %the first 2 arguments provide the position and we can give individual X and Ypositions of each node
'VerticalAlignment','top',...
'HorizontalAlignment', 'left',... % alignment with the node
'FontSize', 9)
%Changing only the first node's label properties
% text([p.XData(1)-2 p.XData(2:end)],[ p.YData(1)+5 p.YData(2:end)] ,p.NodeLabel, ...
% 'VerticalAlignment','top',...
% 'HorizontalAlignment', 'left',... % alignment with the node
% 'FontSize', 9)
%Without this line labels will be duplicated.
p.NodeLabel={};%Changing labels to empty as we have created a text for each label.

Hope it helps
