如何使用 networkx 绘制社区

Question

如何使用 python networkx 绘制其社区图表，如下图：

Answer 1

networkx.draw_networkx_nodes 和 networkx.draw_networkx_edges 的文档解释了如何设置节点和边缘颜色。可以通过找到每个社区的节点位置然后绘制包含所有位置（然后是一些位置）的补丁（例如 matplotlib.patches.Circle）来制作社区边界补丁。

难点在于图形布局/设置节点位置。 AFAIK，networkx 中没有例程可以“开箱即用”地实现所需的图形布局。您要做的是：

相对于彼此定位社区：创建一个新的加权图，其中每个节点对应一个社区，权重对应社区之间的边数。使用您最喜欢的图形布局算法（例如spring_layout）获得体面的布局。
在每个社区内定位节点：为每个社区创建一个新图。找到子图的布局。
合并1)和3)中的节点位置。例如。将 1) 中计算的社区位置缩放为 10 倍；将这些值添加到该社区内所有节点的位置（如 2）中计算的）。

~~我一直想实现这个。我可能会在今天晚些时候或周末完成。~~

瞧。现在你只需要在节点周围（后面）绘制你最喜欢的补丁。

虽然总体思路不错，但我上面的旧实现有一些问题。最重要的是，该实施对于规模不均的社区效果不佳。具体来说，_position_communities 在 canvas 上为每个社区提供相同数量的房地产。如果一些社区比其他社区大得多，这些社区最终会被压缩成与小社区相同数量的 space。显然，这并不能很好地反映图的结构。

我写了一个可视化网络的库，叫做 netgraph。它包括上述社区布局例程的改进版本，在安排社区时也会考虑社区的大小。它与 networkx 和 igraph Graph 对象完全兼容，因此制作美观的图表应该简单快捷（至少是这样的想法）。

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import networkx as nx

# installation easiest via pip:
# pip install netgraph
from netgraph import Graph

# create a modular graph
partition_sizes = [10, 20, 30, 40]
g = nx.random_partition_graph(partition_sizes, 0.5, 0.1)

# since we created the graph, we know the best partition:
node_to_community = dict()
node = 0
for community_id, size in enumerate(partition_sizes):
    for _ in range(size):
        node_to_community[node] = community_id
        node += 1

# # alternatively, we can infer the best partition using Louvain:
# from community import community_louvain
# node_to_community = community_louvain.best_partition(g)

community_to_color = {
    0 : 'tab:blue',
    1 : 'tab:orange',
    2 : 'tab:green',
    3 : 'tab:red',
}
node_color = {node: community_to_color[community_id] for node, community_id in node_to_community.items()}

Graph(g,
      node_color=node_color, node_edge_width=0, edge_alpha=0.1,
      node_layout='community', node_layout_kwargs=dict(node_to_community=node_to_community),
      edge_layout='bundled', edge_layout_kwargs=dict(k=2000),
)

plt.show()
