I’m happy to announce GraphMakie.jl, a graph¹ plotting package on top of Makie!
Make sure to check out the docs!
It currently it supports:
2D and 3D network plots
edge and node labels
a lot of the cool coloring stuff from Makie
some prebuilt interactions like dragging of nodes
The node layout is powered by NetworkLayout.jl which got its own big update with an updated interface in the 0.4 release which plays nicely with GraphMakie (and potentially other graph plotting packages). The available layouts can be found in the docs of NetworkLayout.jl.
You can also easily define your own layouts which are based on other packages such as LayeredLayouts.jl (see DAG example) or extracting positions from a MetaGraph.
This package is still in an early stage and might break often until the interface settles. Feel free to suggest features and open issues and PRs
No it has LighGraphs as a dependency and it will be hard to get rid of: Internally I use the ordering of the edges(g) iterator of LighGraphs to define the order of the edges (i.e. for the color arguments). I thought that compared to a heavy plot lib one needs anyway the additional LightGraphs dep isn’t to bad.
While this library looks great I cannot figure out how to add anything to the graph plot.
Suppose I have:
g = SimpleWeightedDiGraph(rand(3,3))
fig = graphplot(g)
How to add, for an example a rectangle to the plot.
I tried using GeometryTypes and the function poly!(fig, Rectangle(0,0,0.5,0.5)) but this throws an error.
