NetworkX and Graphviz layout

[Michele Tizzoni]

Hi everybody,

I am trying to draw a network using NetworkX and the Graphviz layout "twopi".

Everything works fine, but I would like to use some graph attributes like "overlap = false" that are available for the graphs in Graphviz.

However, I don't know how to set such graph attributes in NetworkX, such that the command graphviz_layout will recognize them.

Do you know if this is possible with NetworkX?

Could you help me?

Thanks,

Michele

Yes, that should work. There isn't much documentation. Try, e.g.

In [1]: import networkx as nx

In [2]: G=nx.cycle_graph(5)

In [3]: pos=nx.graphviz_layout(G,prog='twopi',args='-Goverlap=false')
