Hi Tiago,

Yes I thought about vorder but I have too many vertices. I got away with selecting a layout with few overlaps and then fixing by hand the generated PDF with inkscape. Worked great!

I have opened a new ticket (#147). Thanks!

Giovanni

I am plotting text labels next to vertices but some vertices cover the text of other vertices. Is there a way to ensure that the text is displayed on the foreground? I am using graph_draw.

The texts are currently drawn together with the vertices. You can avoid obscuring text to some extent by specifying the vertex order via the "vorder" parameter.

An option to force the drawing of texts above all vertices would be a nice improvement. If you want, you can open a bug report for this, and I'll around to it when I find some time.

Cheers, Tiagon
