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. -Bogdan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
