Plotting Graphs
LightGraphs.jl integrates with several other Julia packages for plotting. Here are a few examples.
TikzGraphs.jl
Another nice graph visualization package. (TikzPictures.jl required to render/save):
julia> g = wheel_graph(10); t = plot(g)
julia> save(SVG("wheel10.svg"), t)
producing a graph like this:
GraphPlot.jl
Another graph visualization package that is very simple to use. Compose.jl is required for most rendering functionality:
julia> using GraphPlot, Compose
julia> g = wheel_graph(10)
julia> draw(PNG("/tmp/wheel10.png", 16cm, 16cm), gplot(g))
NetworkViz.jl
NetworkViz.jl is tightly coupled with LightGraphs.jl. Graphs can be visualized in 2D as well as 3D using ThreeJS.jl and Escher.jl.
#Run this code in Escher
using NetworkViz
using LightGraphs
main(window) = begin
push!(window.assets, "widgets")
push!(window.assets,("ThreeJS","threejs"))
g = complete_graph(10)
drawGraph(g)
end
The above code produces the following output:
GraphRecipes.jl
GraphRecipes is a collection of recipes for visualizing graphs. Users specify a graph through an adjacency matrix, an adjacency list, or an AbstractGraph via LightGraphs.
julia> using GraphRecipes, Plots
julia> using LightGraphs
julia> g = wheel_graph(10)
julia> graphplot(g, curves=false)
