Fit/scale an InteractiveGraph to its matplotlib axe about netgraph HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for your explanation.

I already set plot with the subplots_adjust method.
It turns out that I can adjust as I wish by using xlim/ylim appropriately.

I've also adjusted origin and scale to it so I'm pretty satisfied with it, I have way less coordinates issues than previously.
Thank you very much for the cool library and how easy it was to get info.

I guess you can close the issue, since behaviour seems to be pretty much what I wanted!

It seems to me that netgraph (or networkx) auto determines a "frame" depending on the number of nodes it has to display.

Netgraph doesn't (or shouldn't) but it is built on matplotlib, and matplotlib by default adjusts the axis extents to the data limits of the objects plotted. As with any other matplotlib figure, you can set the x- and y-limits explicitly:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import networkx as nx
from netgraph import InteractiveGraph

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
G = nx.complete_graph(10)
pos = nx.shell_layout(G)
ref = InteractiveGraph(G, node_layout=pos, ax=ax)
ax.set_xlim(-2, 2)
ax.set_ylim(-2, 2)
plt.show()

Does this solve your issue?

As always, thank you for your (quick) answer.

I can see that it works, I just have to figure out how to properly set it to the matplotlib limits (there is currently still some margin). I initialized my Figure to figsize=(5, 3) so maybe I have to dig with this. All these features is just some extensive stuff I have added to my work but is not my core knowledge so it's not very intuitive to me.

By the way, setting the axe xlim/ylim impacted my graph "size", everything got way smaller than it was. Any clue why it did?

In matplotlib, all axes have a margin by default. You can adjust/remove the margins with:

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
fig.subplots_adjust(left=0, bottom=0, right=1, top=1)

This is the expected behaviour, as in netgraph, all object sizes are given in data coordinates (times a constant factor of 0.01). This is in contrast to networkx, where node sizes and edge widths are in display coordinates.
