We measure the stomatic plasticity at Ctenanthe oppenheimiana leaves based on distance between stomata pairs in microscopic images. Theoretical graphs were built according with distance thresholds as connectivity parameter. The theoretical networks based at distances between stomata depends on how the connectivity can vary according with the threshold distances. Plants exposed to extreme light irradiation times from 24 to 4 hours per day, presented discernible relations between stomatic distances. The graphs related to average distances between stomata pairs revealed a powerful tool to predict changes of the geometric distribution of stomata at live Ctenanthe openheimiana plants.
