I am creating a graph in Latex with auto-generated lines like

$|circbulletbulletcircbulletbulletrangle$

which generate the image

I would like the spacing of these symbols to be consistent and also small.

Ideally I would like all of the symbols to be spaced at the same distance as the last two symbols. How would I achieve this?

Embrace circs and bullets, so that they don't take on special math spacings.

I believe both circ and bullet are declared as mathbin, which will carry certain extra spacings when used in conjunction with adjacent tokens. The bracing effectively isolates these tokens from "seeing" adjacent material (against which it would otherwise apply special math spacing).

  You were right, it was just because the font was set to some default which gave unnecessary spacing!

but Bin atoms are transformed into Ord atoms as soon as they don't fit the usual infix math notation. Thus Bin₂ becomes Ord, as well as Bin₄ and Bin₆, so you end up with

and finally TeX adds medium spaces around the remaining Bin atoms. This explains the picture I get from your input:

On the other hand, a different input such as

$lvertcircbulletbulletcircbulletbulletrangle$

would produce the sequence of atoms

Open Bin Bin Bin Bin Bin Bin Close

that would be transformed into

Open Ord Bin Ord Bin Ord Ord Close

producing a picture similar to yours

Neither input is correct.

Define your own symbols, because you're not using circ and bullet in their intended sense of binary operation symbols.

documentclass{article}

usepackage{amsmath}



newcommand{}{mathord{mspace{1mu}circmspace{1mu}}}

newcommand{1}{mathord{mspace{1mu}bulletmspace{1mu}}}



begin{document}



$lvert  1 1  1 1 rangle$



end{document}

The mathord tokens are not actually required, but they show more clearly what we're doing.
