networkx.drawing.nx_pylab.draw_networkx_labels¶

draw_networkx_labels(G, pos, labels=None, font_size=12, font_color='k', font_family='sans-serif', font_weight='normal', alpha=None, bbox=None, ax=None, **kwds)[source]¶

Draw node labels on the graph G.

Parameters

G (graph) – A networkx graph
pos (dictionary) – A dictionary with nodes as keys and positions as values. Positions should be sequences of length 2.
labels (dictionary, optional (default=None)) – Node labels in a dictionary keyed by node of text labels Node-keys in labels should appear as keys in pos. If needed use: {n:lab for n,lab in labels.items() if n in pos}
font_size (int) – Font size for text labels (default=12)
font_color (string) – Font color string (default=’k’ black)
font_family (string) – Font family (default=’sans-serif’)
font_weight (string) – Font weight (default=’normal’)
alpha (float or None) – The text transparency (default=None)
ax (Matplotlib Axes object, optional) – Draw the graph in the specified Matplotlib axes.

Returns

dict of labels keyed on the nodes

Return type

dict

Examples

>>> G = nx.dodecahedral_graph()
>>> labels = nx.draw_networkx_labels(G, pos=nx.spring_layout(G))
