Visualizing using Arc plots

Following on what you've learned about the nxviz API, now try making an ArcPlot of the network. Two keyword arguments that you will try here are node_order='keyX' and node_color='keyX', in which you specify a key in the node metadata dictionary to color and order the nodes by.

matplotlib.pyplot has been imported for you as plt.

Instructions

  • Import ArcPlot from nxviz.
  • Create an un-customized ArcPlot of T. To do this, use the ArcPlot() function with just T as the argument.
  • Create another ArcPlot of T in which the nodes are ordered and colored by the 'category' keyword. You'll have to specify the node_order and node_color parameters to do this. For both plots, be sure to draw them to the screen and display them with plt.show().
