MATLAB: Error when plotting a small digraph

figure; plot(digraph([0,0,1;1,0,0;1,0,0]))
on R2016a throws the error

Using (e.g.) the circle layout works fine. Is there a workaround that lets me use the default/force layout or must I resort to something like a try/catch?

Best Answer

This bug was fixed in R2016b. I'm afraid there is no workaround except to check for the error and use another layout method ('circle' or 'layered'). This bug applies to a small set of directed graphs, undirected graphs are not affected.
