V
vertex
An element of the graph that can be connected by edges. A vertex is also called a node. In this documentation, the term node is primarily used for the term vertex. A graph consists of a finite set of vertices connected by a finite set of edges (also called links or connections). In drawings, vertices are often displayed as boxes and edges are often displayed as lines.
