VisWaterNet has been tested on Python 3.8+.

Features

VisWaterNet is designed to plot simulation data onto a network graph, with a large variety of customization options available. The package includes the capabilities to:

• Discretize network or simulation data.
• Visualize discretized or continuous data on network graphs.
• Import data from excel files or data generated with Python.
• Create GIFs of data across simulation timesteps.
• Customize style of virtually every element of the network graph, including: reservoirs, tanks, valves, pumps, links, and nodes.
• Draw labels relative to nodes or based on an absolute position on the figure.
• Draw specific nodes or links with their own data and style.

Installation

To install VisWaterNet, run this command in your terminal:

.. code:: python

pip install viswaternet

Alternatively, the sources for VisWaterNet can be downloaded from the Github repo. You can clone the public repository:

.. code:: python

git clone git://github.com/tylertrimble/viswaternet

Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:

.. code:: python

python setup.py install

Getting Started

To get started, import the VisWaterNet package:

.. code:: python

import viswaternet as vis

Next, initialize a VisWaterNet model and optionally a style object. For example purposes, we use the CTown network from Ostfeld (2016)_ included in the Examples folder:

.. code:: python

model = vis.VisWNModel('Networks/CTown.inp')
style = vis.NetworkStyle(discrete_legend_loc='lower left', legend_sig_figs=0)

.. _Ostfeld (2016): https://uknowledge.uky.edu/wdst_models/2/

Then, call on any of the plotting functions with the argument inputs of your choice. For example, the following line of code displays the network layout of CTown with each node colored according its mean pressure (in psi). This is a continuous node plot, where the nodal colors are assigned based a gradient scale:

.. code:: python

model.plot_continuous_nodes(parameter="pressure", value='mean', unit="psi")

.. figure:: logo/readme1.png :width: 600 :alt: Basic network layout

We can represent the same data in a different way by generating a discrete node plot in which mean pressure data is grouped into 4 discrete intervals and node colors are assigned based on the corresponding value shown on a legend:

.. code:: python

model.plot_discrete_nodes(parameter="pressure", value='mean', unit="psi",
                          intervals = [0,40,80,120],
                          style=style)

.. figure:: logo/readme2.png :width: 600 :alt: Basic network layout

If the plot does not show up after you run the script, it is possible that your IDE does not support interactive plotting (e.g., IDLE) or interactive mode is off. To see the plot, add the following line to display the figures:

.. code:: python

plt.show()

Since several VisWaterNet function arguments rely on Matplotlib visualization inputs, it is recommended to visit the Matplotlib docs_ to view customization options for colors, colorbars, node markers, line styles, etc.

.. _Matplotlib docs: https://matplotlib.org/stable/index.html .. _colors: https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/color/named_colors.html .. _colorbars: https://matplotlib.org/stable/tutorials/colors/colormaps.html#sphx-glr-tutorials-colors-colormaps-py .. _node markers: https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/lines_bars_and_markers/marker_reference.html .. _line styles: https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/lines_bars_and_markers/linestyles.html

More examples that demonstrate the range of VisWaterNet's plotting abilities can be found in the Example Applications_ section of the docs.
