We start with the (right) Cayley graphs of some classical groups::

Alternative generators may be specified::
sage: G = A5.cayley_graph(generators=[A5.gens()[0]]) sage: G.num_edges() 60 sage: g=PermutationGroup([(i+1,j+1) for i in range(5) for j in range(5) if j!=i]) sage: g.cayley_graph(generators=[(1,2),(2,3)]) Digraph on 120 vertices
If ``elements`` is specified, then only the subgraph induced and those elements is returned. Here we use it to display the Cayley graph of the free monoid truncated on the elements of length at most 3::
sage: M = Monoids().example(); M An example of a monoid: the free monoid generated by ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd') sage: elements = [ M.prod(w) for w in sum((list(Words(M.semigroup_generators(),k)) for k in range(4)),[]) ] sage: G = M.cayley_graph(elements = elements) sage: G.num_verts(), G.num_edges() (85, 84) sage: G.show3d(color_by_label=True, edge_size=0.001, vertex_size=0.01)
We now illustrate the ``side`` and ``simple`` options on a semigroup::

This implementation lazily constructs all the elements of the semigroup, and the right Cayley graph relations between them, and uses the latter as an automaton.

By default, `M` is just in the category of subsemigroups::

In the following example `M` is a group; however its unit does not coincide with that of `R`, so `M` is only a subsemigroup, and we need to specify its unit explicitly::
sage: M = R.subsemigroup([R(5)], ....: category=Semigroups().Finite().Subobjects() & Groups()); M Traceback (most recent call last): ... ValueError: For a monoid which is just a subsemigroup, the unit should be specified
