# Graph Force
|
|
|
|
A python/rust library for embedding graphs in 2D space, using force-directed layouts.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install graph_force
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
The first parameter defines the number of nodes in graph.
|
|
The second parameter is an iterable of edges, where each edge is a tuple of two integers representing the nodes it connects. Node ids start at 0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import graph_force
|
|
|
|
edges = [(0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 0)]
|
|
pos = graph_force.layout_from_edge_list(4, edges)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Example with networkx
|
|
|
|
This library does not have a function to consume a networkx graph directly, but it is easy to convert it to an edge list.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import networkx as nx
|
|
import graph_force
|
|
|
|
G = nx.grid_2d_graph(10, 10)
|
|
# we have to map the names to integers
|
|
# as graph_force only supports integers as node ids at the moment
|
|
edges = []
|
|
mapping = {n: i for i, n in enumerate(G.nodes)}
|
|
i = 0
|
|
for edge in G.edges:
|
|
edges.append((mapping[edge[0]], mapping[edge[1]]))
|
|
|
|
pos = graph_force.layout_from_edge_list(len(G.nodes), edges, iter=1000)
|
|
nx.draw(G, {n: pos[i] for n, i in mapping.items()}, node_size=2, width=0.1)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Example with edge file
|
|
|
|
This methods can be used with large graphs, where the edge list does not fit into memory.
|
|
|
|
Format of the file:
|
|
- Little endian
|
|
- 4 bytes: number of nodes(int)
|
|
- 12 bytes: nodeA(int), nodeB(int), weight(float)
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import graph_force
|
|
import struct
|
|
|
|
with open("edges.bin", "rb") as f:
|
|
n = 10
|
|
f.write(struct.pack("i", n))
|
|
for x in range(n-1):
|
|
f.write(struct.pack("iif", x, x+1, 1))
|
|
|
|
pos = graph_force.layout_from_edge_file("edges.bin", iter=50)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
`iter`, `threads` and `model` are optional parameters, supported by `layout_from_edge_list` and `layout_from_edge_file`.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
pos = graph_force.layout_from_edge_list(
|
|
number_of_nodes,
|
|
edges,
|
|
iter=500, # number of iterations, default 500
|
|
threads=0, # number of threads, default 0 (all available)
|
|
model="spring_model", # model to use, default "spring_model", other option is "networkx_model"
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
#### Available models
|
|
|
|
- `spring_model`: A simple spring model (my own implementation)
|
|
- `networkx_model`: Reimplementation of the [spring model from networkx](https://networkx.org/documentation/stable/reference/generated/networkx.drawing.layout.spring_layout.html)
