Force Atlas 2 graph layout
Project description
ForceAtlas2 is a continuous graph layout algorithm for handy network visualization.
This implementation is based on this paper.
Warning: Some features (especially Prevent Overlapping) are not completely implemented. I’m waiting for your pull-requests.
Example of social graph rendered with force atlas 2 layout:
Installing
Supports Python 3.3+
Install from pip:
pip install fa2l
To build and install run from source:
python setup.py install
Usage
import networkx as nx
from fa2l import force_atlas2_layout
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
G = nx.erdos_renyi_graph(100, 0.15, directed=False)
positions = force_atlas2_layout(G,
iterations=1000,
pos_list=None,
node_masses=None,
outbound_attraction_distribution=False,
lin_log_mode=False,
prevent_overlapping=False,
edge_weight_influence=1.0,
jitter_tolerance=1.0,
barnes_hut_optimize=True,
barnes_hut_theta=0.5,
scaling_ratio=2.0,
strong_gravity_mode=False,
multithread=False,
gravity=1.0)
nx.draw_networkx(G, positions, cmap=plt.get_cmap('jet'), node_size=50, with_labels=False)
plt.show()
Features
Force Atlas 2 features these settings:
Approximate Repulsion: Barnes Hut optimization: n² complexity to n.ln(n).
Gravity: Attracts nodes to the center. Prevents islands from drifting away.
Dissuade Hubs: Distributes attraction along outbound edges. Hubs attract less and thus are pushed to the borders.
LinLog mode: Switch ForceAtlas model from lin-lin to lin-log. Makes clusters more tight.
Prevent Overlap. WARNING! Does not work very well.
Tolerance: How much swinging you allow. Above 1 discouraged. Lower gives less speed and more precision.
Edge Weight Influence: How much influence you give to the edges weight. 0 is “no influence” and 1 is “normal”.
