Graph Network Visualization
Learn about different graph visualization techniques.
Plotting graphs
Visualization is critical if we want to understand the graph's structure better. There are many ways to plot a graph. NetworkX
offers a simple method for visualization, which is given by nx.draw()
. Let's take a look at some intuitive graph representation techniques.
nx.draw()
Press + to interact
import networkx as nximport matplotlib.pyplot as pltG = nx.complete_graph(5)nx.draw(G)
Any graph can be plotted using the nx.draw()
method. It uses the matplotlib
engine to make the visualization. Hence, we can control the image size and other parameters using matplotlib
methods.
Layouts
Since NetworkX
offers some predefined layouts—like those below—we can position the nodes and edges at will because the ...
