Daniel Lichtblau Wolfram Research ------------------- One way to do what you want is GraphPlotLabeled[g_, opts___?OptionQ] := Module[ {vtx, coord}, Needs["DiscreteMath`GraphPlot`"]; vtx = VertexList[g]; coord = GraphCoordinates[g, opts]; GraphPlot[g, VertexStyleFunction -> (Text[vtx[[#]], coord[[#]], Background -> Yellow] &)]]; GraphPlotLabeled[{"a" -> "b", "b" -> "c", "c" -> "d", "d" -> "a", "a" - > "c"}] post a sample of your graph would help to figure out how to help you better. -------------------
