GenericGraph#

Qualified name: manim.mobject.graph.GenericGraph

class GenericGraph(vertices, edges, labels=False, label_fill_color='#000000', layout='spring', layout_scale=2, layout_config=None, vertex_type=<class 'manim.mobject.geometry.arc.Dot'>, vertex_config=None, vertex_mobjects=None, edge_type=<class 'manim.mobject.geometry.line.Line'>, partitions=None, root_vertex=None, edge_config=None)[source]#

Bases: VMobject

Abstract base class for graphs (that is, a collection of vertices connected with edges).

Graphs can be instantiated by passing both a list of (distinct, hashable) vertex names, together with list of edges (as tuples of vertex names). See the examples for concrete implementations of this class for details.

Note

This implementation uses updaters to make the edges move with the vertices.

Parameters
  • vertices (list[Hashable]) – A list of vertices. Must be hashable elements.

  • edges (list[tuple[Hashable, Hashable]]) – A list of edges, specified as tuples (u, v) where both u and v are vertices.

  • labels (bool | dict) – Controls whether or not vertices are labeled. If False (the default), the vertices are not labeled; if True they are labeled using their names (as specified in vertices) via MathTex. Alternatively, custom labels can be specified by passing a dictionary whose keys are the vertices, and whose values are the corresponding vertex labels (rendered via, e.g., Text or Tex).

  • label_fill_color (str) – Sets the fill color of the default labels generated when labels is set to True. Has no effect for other values of labels.

  • layout (str | dict) – Either one of "spring" (the default), "circular", "kamada_kawai", "planar", "random", "shell", "spectral", "spiral", "tree", and "partite" for automatic vertex positioning using networkx (see their documentation for more details), or a dictionary specifying a coordinate (value) for each vertex (key) for manual positioning.

  • layout_config (dict | None) – Only for automatically generated layouts. A dictionary whose entries are passed as keyword arguments to the automatic layout algorithm specified via layout of``networkx``. The tree layout also accepts a special parameter vertex_spacing passed as a keyword argument inside the layout_config dictionary. Passing a tuple (space_x, space_y) as this argument overrides the value of layout_scale and ensures that vertices are arranged in a way such that the centers of siblings in the same layer are at least space_x units apart horizontally, and neighboring layers are spaced space_y units vertically.

  • layout_scale (float | tuple) – The scale of automatically generated layouts: the vertices will be arranged such that the coordinates are located within the interval [-scale, scale]. Some layouts accept a tuple (scale_x, scale_y) causing the first coordinate to be in the interval [-scale_x, scale_x], and the second in [-scale_y, scale_y]. Default: 2.

  • vertex_type (type[Mobject]) – The mobject class used for displaying vertices in the scene.

  • vertex_config (dict | None) – Either a dictionary containing keyword arguments to be passed to the class specified via vertex_type, or a dictionary whose keys are the vertices, and whose values are dictionaries containing keyword arguments for the mobject related to the corresponding vertex.

  • vertex_mobjects (dict | None) – A dictionary whose keys are the vertices, and whose values are mobjects to be used as vertices. Passing vertices here overrides all other configuration options for a vertex.

  • edge_type (type[Mobject]) – The mobject class used for displaying edges in the scene.

  • edge_config (dict | None) – Either a dictionary containing keyword arguments to be passed to the class specified via edge_type, or a dictionary whose keys are the edges, and whose values are dictionaries containing keyword arguments for the mobject related to the corresponding edge.

  • partitions (list[list[Hashable]] | None) –

  • root_vertex (Hashable | None) –

add_edges(*edges, edge_type=<class 'manim.mobject.geometry.line.Line'>, edge_config=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Add new edges to the graph.

Parameters
  • edges (tuple[Hashable, Hashable]) – Edges (as tuples of vertex identifiers) to be added. If a non-existing vertex is passed, a new vertex with default settings will be created. Create new vertices yourself beforehand to customize them.

  • edge_type (type[Mobject]) – The mobject class used for displaying edges in the scene.

  • edge_config (dict | None) – A dictionary either containing keyword arguments to be passed to the class specified via edge_type, or a dictionary whose keys are the edge tuples, and whose values are dictionaries containing keyword arguments to be passed for the construction of the corresponding edge.

  • kwargs – Any further keyword arguments are passed to add_vertices() which is used to create new vertices in the passed edges.

Returns

A group containing all newly added vertices and edges.

add_vertices(*vertices, positions=None, labels=False, label_fill_color='#000000', vertex_type=<class 'manim.mobject.geometry.arc.Dot'>, vertex_config=None, vertex_mobjects=None)[source]#

Add a list of vertices to the graph.

Parameters
  • vertices (Hashable) – Hashable vertex identifiers.

  • positions (dict | None) – A dictionary specifying the coordinates where the new vertices should be added. If None, all vertices are created at the center of the graph.

  • labels (bool) – Controls whether or not the vertex is labeled. If False (the default), the vertex is not labeled; if True it is labeled using its names (as specified in vertex) via MathTex. Alternatively, any Mobject can be passed to be used as the label.

  • label_fill_color (str) – Sets the fill color of the default labels generated when labels is set to True. Has no effect for other values of labels.

  • vertex_type (type[Mobject]) – The mobject class used for displaying vertices in the scene.

  • vertex_config (dict | None) – A dictionary containing keyword arguments to be passed to the class specified via vertex_type.

  • vertex_mobjects (dict | None) – A dictionary whose keys are the vertex identifiers, and whose values are mobjects that should be used as vertices. Overrides all other vertex customization options.

  • self (Graph) –
