How to increase node spacing for networkx.spring_layout

Question

Drawing a clique graph with

import networkx as nx
....
nx.draw(G, layout=nx.spring_layout(G))

produces the following picture:

Answer 1

I used the optimal distance parameter of the Kamada Kawai layout, and set the distance between non-connected components to the maximum distance in the graph. There is probably a better way of munging the dictionaries, but this is pretty easy:

df = pd.DataFrame(index=G.nodes(), columns=G.nodes())
for row, data in nx.shortest_path_length(G):
    for col, dist in data.items():
        df.loc[row,col] = dist

df = df.fillna(df.max().max())

layout = nx.kamada_kawai_layout(G, dist=df.to_dict())
