Networkx Spring Layout with Different Edge Values

Question

I am new to Networkx and trying to figure out how to use the spring layout but applying different edge values (i.e., different distances between nodes) between nodes rather

Answer 1

According to the documentation spring_layout takes a weight-keyword which is the name of the edge attribute to use as weight when applying the layout. An example:

import networkx as nx
import random
G = nx.path_graph(5)

# Add some random weights (as dictonary with edges as key and weight as value).
nx.set_edge_attributes(G, 'my_weight', dict(zip(G.edges(), [random.random()*10 for edge in G.edges()])))

# Apply layout using weights.
pos = nx.spring_layout(G, weight='my_weight')
nx.draw(G, pos)
