generates a plot showing the community structure of the graph g.
CommunityGraphPlot [g,{{vi1,vi2,…},…}]
generates a plot for the graph g with communities {vi1,vi2,…}, ….
CommunityGraphPlot [g,{…,wj[{vi1,…}],…}]
generates a plot with highlighting features defined by the symbol wrappers wj.
CommunityGraphPlot [{vi1vj1,vi2vj2,…},…]
generates a plot for a graph in which vertex vik is connected to vertex vjk.
CommunityGraphPlot [m,…]
generates a plot for a graph represented by the adjacency matrix m.

Details and Options
- CommunityGraphPlot attempts to draw the vertices grouped into communities.
- The following wrappers wi can be used for communities:
-
- CommunityGraphPlot has the same options as Graph , with the following additions and changes: [List of all options]
-
- Possible settings for PlotTheme include common base themes:
-
"Business" a bright, modern look appropriate for business presentations or infographics"Detailed" identify data by employing labels and tooltips"Marketing" elegant, eye-catching design suitable for marketing needs"Minimal" simple graph"Monochrome" single-color design"Scientific" candid design useful for analyzing detailed data with labels and tooltips"Web" clean, bold design suitable for a consumer website or blog"Classic" historical design of graph to remain compatible with existing uses

AspectRatio (2)
By default, CommunityGraphPlot automatically determines the height to width ratio for the plot:
Make the height the same as the width with AspectRatio 1:
CommunityBoundaryStyle (4)
The default community boundary style is a gray line:
Use black boundary lines:
Use None to not show boundary lines:
Alternate between red and dashed boundary lines:
CommunityLabels (3)
CommunityRegionStyle (3)
The default community region style is None :
This can also be obtained with CommunityRegionStyle->None :
Use green colors on community regions:
Alternate between red and blue colors on community regions:
Method (2)
By default, CommunityGraphPlot uses a force-directed layout:
This can also be obtained with Method->"SpringElectrical":
Use Method->"Hierarchical" for a hierarchical layout:
