You might try: A5 = AlternatingGroup(5) A5.cayley_graph().show(figsize=15) which will make a very large Cayley graph. You can then scroll around in your web browser to view it. Unfortunately there appears to be no way in Sage to make the edges of graphics not be really thick. -- william --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
