draw_kamada_kawai

draw_kamada_kawai(G, **kwargs)

Draw the graph G with a Kamada-Kawai force-directed layout.

This is a convenience function equivalent to:

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

Parameters:

Ggraph

A networkx graph

kwargsoptional keywords

See draw_networkx for a description of optional keywords.

kamada_kawai_layout()

Notes

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

>>> G = nx.complete_graph(5)
>>> pos = nx.kamada_kawai_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.path_graph(5)
>>> nx.draw_kamada_kawai(G)
