Dirichlet domains are usually mapped using cones for delimiting the area of a given vertex, but we're adapting that principle to our specific needs and tool.

Getting ready

Before building our new Graph class, it's important to create the VertexReport class, make some modifications to our Graph class, and add the Vertex tag in the project:

  1. Prepend the VertexReport class to the Graph class specification, in the same file:

    public class VertexReport
    {
        public int vertex;
        public GameObject obj;
        public VertexReport(int vertexId, GameObject obj...
