draw_bipartite#

draw_bipartite(G, **kwargs)[source]#

Draw the graph G with a bipartite layout.

This is a convenience function equivalent to:

nx.draw(G, pos=nx.bipartite_layout(G), **kwargs)

Parameters:

Ggraph: A networkx graph
kwargsoptional keywords: See draw_networkx for a description of optional keywords.

Raises:

NetworkXError: If G is not bipartite.

bipartite_layout()

Notes

The layout is computed each time this function is called. For repeated drawing it is much more efficient to call bipartite_layout directly and reuse the result:

>>> G = nx.complete_bipartite_graph(3, 3)
>>> pos = nx.bipartite_layout(G)
>>> nx.draw(G, pos=pos)  # Draw the original graph
>>> # Draw a subgraph, reusing the same node positions
>>> nx.draw(G.subgraph([0, 1, 2]), pos=pos, node_color="red")

Examples

>>> G = nx.complete_bipartite_graph(2, 5)
>>> nx.draw_bipartite(G)
