A symmetric adjacency matrix like this can be used to create an undirected graph:

```julia
graph = [0 1 1 0 0;
         1 0 0 1 0;
         1 0 0 1 1;
         0 1 1 0 1;
         0 0 1 1 0]

```

To draw your (asymmetric) matrix, use a directed graph:

```julia
graph = [
    0 2 4 0 0 0 ; 
    0 0 1 7 0 0 ;
    0 0 0 0 3 0 ;
    0 0 0 0 0 1 ;
    0 0 0 2 0 5 ;
    0 0 0 0 0 0 ]

g = SimpleDiGraph(graph)

```
