AI Thread Summary
For creating large directed graphs with 25-30 nodes and clear arrows, Mathematica and Maple are viable options, particularly with Mathematica's GraphPlot function. Users also recommend exploring Graphviz, a dedicated tool for graph visualization, and Asymptote, which offers graphical capabilities. While Microsoft Word's autoshapes can be used for simpler state diagrams, specialized software is preferred for more complex graphing needs.

Hey guys, I need a good program for making a large directed graph, i.e. like 25-30 nodes with nice arrows. Would Mathematica or Maple work?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There are programs to do this? I usually just used the autoshapes from microsoft word (OO probably has the same features) when I was making state diagrams, which aren't all that much different from graphs.
 
You can use the function GraphPlot in Mathematica.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
