 HighlightTrail
 highlight a trail of vertices on a graph

 Calling Sequence HighlightTrail(G, T) HighlightTrail(G, T, C, ip) HighlightEdges(G, T, stylesheet=[ optionsequence ], ip)

Parameters

 G - graph T - a list of vertices (the trail) of G C - (optional) color or list of colors ip - (optional) equation of the form inplace = true or inplace = false stylesheet - (optional) optionsequence is a sequence of keyword options to specify the style or a list of such sequences.

Description

 • By default the DrawGraph command draws the edges and vertices of the graph with the same set of style options. The command HighlightTrail allows the trail to be given a different highlighted style specified in the graph stylesheet.
 • Given only a graph G and an trail T, HighlightTrail marks the specified edges to be rendered with the default highlighted style.
 • If you simply want a trail to have a different style, without being grouped with other highlighted graph components, use the command StyleEdge or StyleSubgraph instead.
 • If you want to highlight a trail but give it a different color, the simplest way is to specify C, a color for the edges. The colors C can be given in any form understood by Maple. See ColorTools/Formats for details.
 • If a list of colors or stylesheets is given, then they are used to associate a different color or style to each member of the trail.
 • By default, this command modifies G and returns nothing. If you supply the option inplace = false, then instead the changes are applied to a copy of G, and that copy is returned.
 • More precise overriding of the highlighted style can be set using stylesheet options. The stylesheet options are understood as modifiers to the default highlighted style. So, for example, if a color is not specified the default highlighted color is used. If the stylesheet option and a color C are both given, the color C is ignored. See StyleEdge for a complete list of edge style options.
