bipartite_layout#

bipartite_layout(G, nodes, align='vertical', scale=1, center=None, aspect_ratio=1.3333333333333333)[source]#

Position nodes in two straight lines.

Parameters:

GNetworkX graph or list of nodes: A position will be assigned to every node in G.
nodeslist or container: Nodes in one node set of the bipartite graph. This set will be placed on left or top.
alignstring (default=’vertical’): The alignment of nodes. Vertical or horizontal.
scalenumber (default: 1): Scale factor for positions.
centerarray-like or None: Coordinate pair around which to center the layout.
aspect_rationumber (default=4/3):: The ratio of the width to the height of the layout.

Returns:

Notes

This algorithm currently only works in two dimensions and does not try to minimize edge crossings.

Examples

>>> G = nx.bipartite.gnmk_random_graph(3, 5, 10, seed=123)
>>> top = nx.bipartite.sets(G)[0]
>>> pos = nx.bipartite_layout(G, top)
