Have you thought about bundling some canonical example graphs and using it as a teaching tool for graph theory?

(I'm already working on a similar project. Feel free to shoot me an email at the address in my profile if you want to talk about it.)

If you guys go into that, I'd suggest leaving a path open for TikZ (text to embed pics in TeX, see here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1204172 , about use in a graph theory book).

Makes neat print-style pictures - for example this chart: http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/gajski-kuhn-y-chart/ , which is not a graph; but the ones in the book looked good.

P.S. http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/prims-algorithm/ illustrates the graph algorithm with overlays.
