    Given a sparsity pattern, the cone of positive matrices which have zero in prescribed entries is considered. The highest rank of the extremal matrices in the cone is called the order of pattern. The order is linked with graph properties of the pattern. It leads to a classification of certain subgraphs of the pattern.
