For creating Cayley graphs in LaTeX, the "xy" package is recommended, as it is primarily designed for commutative diagrams but also supports graph creation. Alternatively, using an external graphics program to draw the graphs and then importing them into LaTeX is suggested as a more straightforward approach.

Hello,
What is best suited for making cayley graphs in LaTeX?
Basically, if you REALLY want to do it in LaTeX, then you should try the "xy" package. It's mostly used for commutative diagrams, but it supports graphs as well (I think).
However, how I would do it, is to just draw the graphs in an external program and import the graphic.
As you can see from the image here, when I graph the 2d graph of y = 5sin(1/x), it comes out like I'd expect. However, when I graph it in a 3d graph, it doesn't look right at all. Can someone tell me why it isn't displaying right, or is it and I'm just missing something when I add the z axis?
