Networkx: Overlapping edges when visualizing MultiGraph

Question

The following multigraph plots correctly (i.e. parallel edges do not overlap) using graphviz neato to generate a png (as shown in this answer)

import network         


        

Answer 1

An improvement to the answer above is adding the connectionstyle argument to nx.draw:

import networkx as nx
G = nx.DiGraph()
G.add_nodes_from([0,1])
pos = nx.circular_layout(G)
nx.draw_networkx_nodes(G, pos, connectionstyle='arc3, rad = 0.1', node_color = 'r', node_size = 100, alpha = 1)
nx.draw_networkx_edges(G, pos,connectionstyle='arc3, rad = 0.1', edgelist = [(0,1)], width = 2, alpha = 0.5, edge_color='b')
nx.draw_networkx_edges(G, pos,connectionstyle='arc3, rad = 0.1', edgelist= [(1,0)], width = 1, alpha = 1)
plt.axis('off')
plt.show()
