Hello

As part of a university project I am solving a version of the Vehicle routing problem. I hope to illustrate the results with a directed graph. I have managed to generate such graphs using LightGraphs, but am having trouble specifying node locations to reflect the data. Is there a suitable package/method I should be looking into? To be clear I would like to have a resulting directed graph with each node in a specific location. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Sam

If you know the specific locations already, you can just plot points to show the nodes, and lines to show the connections, no?  
The GraphRecipes repo has some code for squiggly lines if you want that.
