Re: [igraph] Plotting weighted graphs

[Gabor Csardi]

Dan,

currently only the Fruchterman-Reingold layout supports edge weights.
This layout is calculated from random starting points by default,
so it'll give you different results each time you invoke it. 

See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/igraph-help/2007-06/msg00023.html
for an example.

Best,
Gabor
