Reproducing the figure in Python

Once retrieved, the stylized network data can be used to reproduce the figure in Python. To this end you can use the function netwulf.tools.draw_netwulf.

import networkx as nx
import netwulf as nw

G = nx.barabasi_albert_graph(100,1)

stylized_network, config = nw.visualize(G)

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = nw.draw_netwulf(stylized_network)
plt.show()

A visualization window is opened and the network can be stylized. Once you’re done, press the button Post to Python. Afterwards, the figure will be redrawn in matplotlib and opened.

Reproduced figure

In order to add labels, use netwulf’s functions netwulf.tools.add_edge_label or netwulf.tools.add_node_label.

add_edge_label(ax, stylized_network, (0,1))
add_node_label(ax, stylized_network, 9)

This will add the node id and edge tuple to the figure. You can add an optional label string as

add_edge_label(ax, stylized_network, (0,1), label='this edge')
add_node_label(ax, stylized_network, 9, label='this node')

For additional styling options check out the respective functions docstrings at netwulf.tools.add_edge_label or netwulf.tools.add_node_label.
