write_latex#

write_latex(Gbunch, path, **options)[source]#

Write the latex code to draw the graph(s) onto path.

This convenience function creates the latex drawing code as a string and writes that to a file ready to be compiled when as_document is True or ready to be ``import``ed or `include``ed into your main LaTeX document.

The path argument can be a string filename or a file handle to write to.

Parameters:

GbunchNetworkX graph or iterable of NetworkX graphs

If Gbunch is a graph, it is drawn in a figure environment. If Gbunch is an iterable of graphs, each is drawn in a subfigure envionment within a single figure environment.

pathfilename

Filename or file handle to write to

optionsdict

By default, TikZ is used with options: (others are ignored):

posstring or dict or list: The name of the node attribute on G that holds the position of each node. Positions can be sequences of length 2 with numbers for (x,y) coordinates. They can also be strings to denote positions in TikZ style, such as (x, y) or (angle:radius). If a dict, it should be keyed by node to a position. If an empty dict, a circular layout is computed by TikZ. If you are drawing many graphs in subfigures, use a list of position dicts.
tikz_optionsstring: The tikzpicture options description defining the options for the picture. Often large scale options like [scale=2].
default_node_optionsstring: The draw options for a path of nodes. Individual node options override these.
node_optionsstring or dict: The name of the node attribute on G that holds the options for each node. Or a dict keyed by node to a string holding the options for that node.
node_labelstring or dict: The name of the node attribute on G that holds the node label (text) displayed for each node. If the attribute is “” or not present, the node itself is drawn as a string. LaTeX processing such as "$A_1$" is allowed. Or a dict keyed by node to a string holding the label for that node.
default_edge_optionsstring: The options for the scope drawing all edges. The default is “[-]” for undirected graphs and “[->]” for directed graphs.
edge_optionsstring or dict: The name of the edge attribute on G that holds the options for each edge. If the edge is a self-loop and "loop" not in edge_options the option “loop,” is added to the options for the self-loop edge. Hence you can use “[loop above]” explicitly, but the default is “[loop]”. Or a dict keyed by edge to a string holding the options for that edge.
edge_labelstring or dict: The name of the edge attribute on G that holds the edge label (text) displayed for each edge. If the attribute is “” or not present, no edge label is drawn. Or a dict keyed by edge to a string holding the label for that edge.
edge_label_optionsstring or dict: The name of the edge attribute on G that holds the label options for each edge. For example, “[sloped,above,blue]”. The default is no options. Or a dict keyed by edge to a string holding the label options for that edge.
captionstring: The caption string for the figure environment
latex_labelstring: The latex label used for the figure for easy referral from the main text
sub_captionslist of strings: The sub_caption string for each subfigure in the figure
sub_latex_labelslist of strings: The latex label for each subfigure in the figure
n_rowsint: The number of rows of subfigures to arrange for multiple graphs
as_documentbool: Whether to wrap the latex code in a document envionment for compiling
document_wrapperformatted text string with variable content.: This text is called to evaluate the content embedded in a document environment with a preamble setting up the TikZ syntax.
figure_wrapperformatted text string: This text is evaluated with variables content, caption and label. It wraps the content and if a caption is provided, adds the latex code for that caption, and if a label is provided, adds the latex code for a label.
subfigure_wrapperformatted text string: This text evaluate variables size, content, caption and label. It wraps the content and if a caption is provided, adds the latex code for that caption, and if a label is provided, adds the latex code for a label. The size is the vertical size of each row of subfigures as a fraction.
