Thank you, Gabor. That's a big help.

For anyone else, here are 2 lines you can add. "Faithful" distances mean
that equal distances take up equal screen space.

s = matrix(0, nrow=3, ncol=3)
s[1,2] = 0.2
s[1,3] = 0.2
s[2,3] = 20
s = s + t(s)

l   = layout.drl(g, weights=E(g)$weight)

#l   = scale(l, center=T, scale=F) #uncomment this to reduce excessive
white space
lim = range(l)

plot(g, layout=l, rescale=F, xlim=lim, ylim=lim)
