Graphs provide great information visualization. Highlighting graph elements will let information stand out. By using algorithmic graph layouts, much of the structure in a graph will be self-evident, such as connected components. By attaching interactive effects to graph elements, you can provide information drill-down. The Wolfram Language provides extensive collections of carefully designed graph styles, highlight styles, and layout algorithms. The Wolfram Language provides in-depth support for every aspect of styling, labeling, and shape generation for graphs, as well as carefully designed libraries of edge and vertex shapes.
