I want to recommend SAGE to my students of an introductory abstract
algebra. One of the things I explain is Cayley graphs of groups of
small order. (Many of them can easily done by hand, of course, and we
do this in class.) My only problem with using SAGE for this purpose is
that, all of its pictures Cayley graphs of finite groups are roughly
of the same size, and therefore if one wants to plot the Cayley graph
of A_5, then the picture becomes unreadable because the 60 elements of
the group have to be depicted in a rather small area. If somehow one
could magnify the picture, it'll be wonderful. If this can be done
already, please do let me know.

To plot the Cayley graph of A_5 , I define the group G = A5, then
execute
G = A5.cayley_graph()  and finally execute

show(G, color_by_label=True, edge_labels=True)

I look forward to hearing from you.
