About
Simple and interactive network visualization in Python. Network visualization is an indispensable tool for exploring and communicating patterns in complex systems. Netwulf offers an ultra-simple API for reproducible interactive visualization of networks directly from a Python prompt or Jupyter notebook. As a research tool, its purpose is to allow hassle-free quick interactive layouting/styling for communication purposes.
The package is build around the philosophy that network manipulation and preprocessing should be done programmatically, but that the efficient generation of a visually appealing network is best done interactively, without code.

Install
pip install netwulf
netwulf was developed and tested for
- Python 3.5
- Python 3.6
- Python 3.7
So far, the package's functionality was tested on Mac OS X, several Linux distributions and Windows NT. Windows support cannot be guaranteed as we do not have constant access to machines with this OS.
Dependencies
netwulf directly depends on the following packages which will be installed by pip during the installation process
networkx>=2.0numpy>=0.14matplotlib>=3.0simplejson>=3.0
Documentation
The full documentation is available at https://netwulf.rtfd.io.
Example
Create a network and look at it
```python import networkx as nx from netwulf import visualize
G = nx.barabasialbertgraph(100,m=1) visualize(G) ```

Dev notes
Clone and install this repository as
bash
git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 git@github.com:benmaier/netwulf.git
make
Note that make per default lets pip install a development version of the repository.
The JS base code in /netwulf/js/ is a fork of Ulf Aslak's interactive web app. If this repository is updated, change to /netwulf/js/, then do
bash
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/master
git commit -m "merged"
git push
If you want to upload to PyPI, first convert the new README.md to README.rst
bash
make readme
It will give you warnings about bad .rst-syntax. Fix those errors in README.rst. Then wrap the whole thing
bash
make pypi
It will probably give you more warnings about .rst-syntax. Fix those until the warnings disappear. Then do
bash
make upload

abstract: >-
Netwulf is a light-weight Python library that provides a simple API for interactively visualizing
a network and returning the computed layout and style. It is build around the philosophy
that network manipulation and preprocessing should be done programmatically, but that the
efficient generation of a visually appealing network is best done interactively, without code.
Therefore, it offers no analysis functionality and only few exploration features, but instead
focuses almost entirely on fast and intuitive layout manipulation and node/link styling.
