plot options for compisite graphics objects

This is a more general issue. Currently, when drawing an object that
requires drawing multiple graphics objects, I haven't noticed a good,
consistent way to specify options for the parts of the object (maybe I
haven't looked hard enough!) Is there a way?

For the graph.plot() command, how about we have an "edge_style" and a
"vertex_style" parameter. These parameters take a dictionary which is
then passed straight into the edge plotting commands or the vertex
plotting commands. So, for example, William's, um, enhancement request
above would be:

g.plot(edge_style={width: 0.05})

It would be nice to be able to also be able to specify different
edge_style parameters for different edges in a graph. I can't think of
a good way to do that. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I like your suggestion. Implement it and submit a patch.

This is now #2817. I've put it on my list of things to do.

Thanks,
