SFDP force-directed layout of a Price network with 1500 nodes. The vertex size and color indicate the degree, and the edge color and width the edge betweeness centrality.

graph_tool.draw.graphviz_draw(g, pos=None, size=(15, 15), pin=False, layout=None, maxiter=None, ratio='fill', overlap=True, sep=None, splines=False, vsize=0.105, penwidth=1.0, elen=None, gprops={}, vprops={}, eprops={}, vcolor='#a40000', ecolor='#2e3436', vcmap=None, vnorm=True, ecmap=None, enorm=True, vorder=None, eorder=None, output='', output_format='auto', fork=False, return_string=False)

Draw a graph using graphviz.

Parameters : g : Graph Graph to be drawn. pos : PropertyMap or tuple of PropertyMap (optional, default: None) Vertex property maps containing the x and y coordinates of the vertices. size : tuple of scalars (optional, default: (15,15)) Size (in centimeters) of the canvas. pin : bool or PropertyMap (default: False) If True, the vertices are not moved from their initial position. If a PropertyMap is passed, it is used to pin nodes individually. layout : string (default: "neato" if g.num_vertices() <= 1000 else "sfdp") Layout engine to be used. Possible values are "neato", "fdp", "dot", "circo", "twopi" and "arf". maxiter : int (default: None) If specified, limits the maximum number of iterations. ratio : string or float (default: "fill") Sets the aspect ratio (drawing height/drawing width) for the drawing. Note that this is adjusted before the size attribute constraints are enforced. If ratio is numeric, it is taken as the desired aspect ratio. Then, if the actual aspect ratio is less than the desired ratio, the drawing height is scaled up to achieve the desired ratio; if the actual ratio is greater than that desired ratio, the drawing width is scaled up. If ratio == "fill" and the size attribute is set, node positions are scaled, separately in both x and y, so that the final drawing exactly fills the specified size. If ratio == "compress" and the size attribute is set, dot attempts to compress the initial layout to fit in the given size. This achieves a tighter packing of nodes but reduces the balance and symmetry. This feature only works in dot. If ratio == "expand", the size attribute is set, and both the width and the height of the graph are less than the value in size, node positions are scaled uniformly until at least one dimension fits size exactly. Note that this is distinct from using size as the desired size, as here the drawing is expanded before edges are generated and all node and text sizes remain unchanged. If ratio == "auto", the page attribute is set and the graph cannot be drawn on a single page, then size is set to an “ideal” value. In particular, the size in a given dimension will be the smallest integral multiple of the page size in that dimension which is at least half the current size. The two dimensions are then scaled independently to the new size. This feature only works in dot. overlap : bool or string (default: "prism") Determines if and how node overlaps should be removed. Nodes are first enlarged using the sep attribute. If True, overlaps are retained. If the value is "scale", overlaps are removed by uniformly scaling in x and y. If the value is False, node overlaps are removed by a Voronoi-based technique. If the value is "scalexy", x and y are separately scaled to remove overlaps. If sfdp is available, one can set overlap to "prism" to use a proximity graph-based algorithm for overlap removal. This is the preferred technique, though "scale" and False can work well with small graphs. This technique starts with a small scaling up, controlled by the overlap_scaling attribute, which can remove a significant portion of the overlap. The prism option also accepts an optional non-negative integer suffix. This can be used to control the number of attempts made at overlap removal. By default, overlap == "prism" is equivalent to overlap == "prism1000". Setting overlap == "prism0" causes only the scaling phase to be run. If the value is "compress", the layout will be scaled down as much as possible without introducing any overlaps, obviously assuming there are none to begin with. sep : float (default: None) Specifies margin to leave around nodes when removing node overlap. This guarantees a minimal non-zero distance between nodes. splines : bool (default: False) If True, the edges are drawn as splines and routed around the vertices. vsize : float, PropertyMap, or tuple (default: 0.105) Default vertex size (width and height). If a tuple is specified, the first value should be a property map, and the second is a scale factor. penwidth : float, PropertyMap or tuple (default: 1.0) Specifies the width of the pen, in points, used to draw lines and curves, including the boundaries of edges and clusters. It has no effect on text. If a tuple is specified, the first value should be a property map, and the second is a scale factor. elen : float or PropertyMap (default: None) Preferred edge length, in inches. gprops : dict (default: {}) Additional graph properties, as a dictionary. The keys are the property names, and the values must be convertible to string. vprops : dict (default: {}) Additional vertex properties, as a dictionary. The keys are the property names, and the values must be convertible to string, or vertex property maps, with values convertible to strings. eprops : dict (default: {}) Additional edge properties, as a dictionary. The keys are the property names, and the values must be convertible to string, or edge property maps, with values convertible to strings. vcolor : string or PropertyMap (default: "#a40000") Drawing color for vertices. If the valued supplied is a property map, the values must be scalar types, whose color values are obtained from the vcmap argument. ecolor : string or PropertyMap (default: "#2e3436") Drawing color for edges. If the valued supplied is a property map, the values must be scalar types, whose color values are obtained from the ecmap argument. vcmap : matplotlib.colors.Colormap (default: matplotlib.cm.jet) Vertex color map. vnorm : bool (default: True) Normalize vertex color values to the [0,1] range. ecmap : matplotlib.colors.Colormap (default: matplotlib.cm.jet) Edge color map. enorm : bool (default: True) Normalize edge color values to the [0,1] range. vorder : PropertyMap (default: None) Scalar vertex property map which specifies the order with which vertices are drawn. eorder : PropertyMap (default: None) Scalar edge property map which specifies the order with which edges are drawn. output : string (default: "") Output file name. output_format : string (default: "auto") Output file format. Possible values are "auto", "xlib", "ps", "svg", "svgz", "fig", "mif", "hpgl", "pcl", "png", "gif", "dia", "imap", "cmapx". If the value is "auto", the format is guessed from the output parameter, or xlib if it is empty. If the value is None, no output is produced. fork : bool (default: False) If True, the program is forked before drawing. This is used as a work-around for a bug in graphviz, where the exit() function is called, which would cause the calling program to end. This is always assumed True, if output_format == 'xlib'. return_string : bool (default: False) If True, a string containing the rendered graph as binary data is returned (defaults to png format). pos : PropertyMap Vector vertex property map with the x and y coordinates of the vertices. gv : gv.digraph or gv.graph (optional, only if returngv == True) Internally used graphviz graph.

Parameters : g : Graph Graph to be drawn. pos : PropertyMap (optional, default: None) Vector-valued vertex property map containing the x and y coordinates of the vertices. If not given, it will be computed using sfdp_layout(). vprops : dict (optional, default: None) Dictionary with the vertex properties. Individual properties may also be given via the vertex_ parameters, where is the name of the property. eprops : dict (optional, default: None) Dictionary with the vertex properties. Individual properties may also be given via the edge_ parameters, where is the name of the property. vorder : PropertyMap (optional, default: None) If provided, defines the relative order in which the vertices are drawn. eorder : PropertyMap (optional, default: None) If provided, defines the relative order in which the edges are drawn. nodesfirst : bool (optional, default: False) If True, the vertices are drawn first, otherwise the edges are. update_layout : bool (optional, default: True) If True, the layout will be updated dynamically. layout_K : float (optional, default: 1.0) Parameter K passed to sfdp_layout(). multilevel : bool (optional, default: False) Parameter multilevel passed to sfdp_layout(). display_props : list of PropertyMap instances (optional, default: None) List of properties to be displayed when the mouse passes over a vertex. display_props_size : float (optional, default: 11) Font size used to display the vertex properties. bg_color : str or sequence (optional, default: None) Background color. The default is white. vertex_* : PropertyMap or arbitrary types (optional, default: None) Parameters following the pattern vertex_ specify the vertex property with name , as an alternative to the vprops parameter. edge_* : PropertyMap or arbitrary types (optional, default: None) Parameters following the pattern edge_ specify the edge property with name , as an alternative to the eprops parameter. **kwargs : Any extra parameters are passed to cairo_draw().

Notes

The graph drawing can be panned by dragging with the middle mouse button pressed. The graph may be zoomed by scrolling with the mouse wheel, or equivalent (if the “shift” key is held, the vertex/edge sizes are scaled accordingly). The layout may be rotated by dragging while holding the “control” key. Pressing the “r” key centers and zooms the layout around the graph. By pressing the “a” key, the current translation, scaling and rotation transformations are applied to the vertex positions themselves, and the transformation matrix is reset (if this is never done, the given position properties are never modified).

Individual vertices may be selected by pressing the left mouse button. The currently selected vertex follows the mouse pointer. To stop the selection, the right mouse button must be pressed. Alternatively, a group of vertices may be selected by holding the “shift” button while the pointer is dragged while pressing the left button. The selected vertices may be moved by dragging the pointer with the left button pressed. They may be rotated by holding the “control” key and scrolling with the mouse. If the key “z” is pressed, the layout is zoomed to fit the selected vertices only.

If the key “s” is pressed, the dynamic spring-block layout is activated. Vertices which are currently selected are not updated.

cleanup(self)

Cleanup callbacks.

reset_layout(self)

Reset the layout algorithm.
