Package drawing
source code
Drawing and plotting routines for IGraph.
Plotting is dependent on the pycairo
or
cairocffi
libraries that provide Python bindings to the
popular Cairo
library. This means that if you don't have pycairo or
cairocffi
installed, you won't be able to use the plotting capabilities. However,
you can still use Graph.write_svg to save the graph to an SVG file and
view it from Mozilla Firefox (free) or edit it in Inkscape (free), Skencil (formerly known
as Sketch, also free) or Adobe Illustrator.
Whenever the documentation refers to the pycairo
library,
you can safely replace it with cairocffi
as the two are
API-compatible.

Plots the given object to the given target.
Positional and keyword arguments not explicitly mentioned here will be
passed down to the __plot__ method of the object being
plotted. Since you are most likely interested in the keyword arguments
available for graph plots, see Graph.__plot__ as well.
- Parameters:
obj - the object to be plotted
target - the target where the object should be plotted. It can be one of
the following types:
-
None -- an appropriate surface will be created
and the object will be plotted there.
-
cairo.Surface -- the given Cairo surface will be
used. This can refer to a PNG image, an arbitrary window, an
SVG file, anything that Cairo can handle.
-
string -- a file with the given name will be
created and an appropriate Cairo surface will be attached to
it. The supported image formats are: PNG, PDF, SVG and
PostScript.
bbox - the bounding box of the plot. It must be a tuple with either two
or four integers, or a BoundingBox object. If this is a tuple with two
integers, it is interpreted as the width and height of the plot
(in pixels for PNG images and on-screen plots, or in points for
PDF, SVG and PostScript plots, where 72 pt = 1 inch = 2.54 cm).
If this is a tuple with four integers, the first two denotes the
X and Y coordinates of a corner and the latter two denoting the X
and Y coordinates of the opposite corner.
opacity - the opacity of the object being plotted. It can be used to
overlap several plots of the same graph if you use the same
layout for them -- for instance, you might plot a graph with
opacity 0.5 and then plot its spanning tree over it with opacity
0.1. To achieve this, you'll need to modify the Plot
object returned with Plot.add.
palette - the palette primarily used on the plot if the added objects do
not specify a private palette. Must be either an igraph.drawing.colors.Palette object or a string
referring to a valid key of
igraph.drawing.colors.palettes (see module igraph.drawing.colors) or
None . In the latter case, the default palette given
by the configuration key plotting.palette is used.
margin - the top, right, bottom, left margins as a 4-tuple. If it has less
than 4 elements or is a single float, the elements will be
re-used until the length is at least 4. The default margin is 20
on each side.
inline - whether to try and show the plot object inline in the current
IPython notebook. Passing ``None`` here or omitting this keyword
argument will look up the preferred behaviour from the
shell.ipython.inlining.Plot configuration key. Note
that this keyword argument has an effect only if igraph is run
inside IPython and target is None .
- Returns:
- an appropriate Plot object.
