Output networkX graph with graphviz (PyGraphviz)

Installation

I wanted to move from drawing using matplotlib.pyplot to grahviz, so I tried various things.

I found a useful thing called PyGraphviz. Install by referring to the official (http://pygraphviz.github.io/documentation/pygraphviz-1.3rc1/install.html#quick-install).

I have pip in it, so

% pip install pygraphviz

It ends with.

I wrote it

pgvSample.py


import pygraphviz as pgv
import networkx as nx

#Create networkx graphs normally
h = nx.newman_watts_strogatz_graph(10,3,0.4)

#Convert this to agraph class (PyGraphviz)
g = nx.to_agraph(h)

#file.Output with the name pdf, use circo for layout
g.draw('file.pdf',prog='circo')

(Addition) The conversion method has been changed to another module from Networkx 1.11. http://networkx.readthedocs.io/en/networkx-1.11/reference/drawing.html

g = nx.nx_agraph.to_agraph(h)

Run

When these 5 lines are executed, file.pdf is created.

% python pgvSample.py % ls file.pdf pgvSample.py % open file.pdf

When I open it, it looks like this.

Layout

As for the layout of the graph, there are various options when looking at the documentation.

prog=[’neato’|’dot’|’twopi’|’circo’|’fdp’|’nop’]

What each of them is is summarized on this site (http://melborne.github.io/2013/04/02/graphviz-layouts/).

Create a .dot file

Just add this one line to the above program and you can save it as a dot file.

pgvSample.py


g.write("file.dot")

Like this.

% cat file.dot strict graph "newman_watts_strogatz_graph(10,3,0.4)" { 0 -- 1; 0 -- 6; 0 -- 9; 1 -- 2; 1 -- 5; 2 -- 3; 2 -- 5; 2 -- 8; 3 -- 4; 3 -- 9; 4 -- 5; 4 -- 8; 5 -- 6; 6 -- 7; 7 -- 8; 8 -- 9; }

The AGraph class can also read a .dot file and create a graph, so it may be convenient if you want to use the same graph on another occasion. (Reference: ** Tutorial ** http://networkx.lanl.gov/pygraphviz/tutorial.html)

Other references

It seems that various cooperation with networkX is possible.
