Plot function of igraph - (python)

Question

I tried to use the igraph library for python in order to plot a graph, I used the very example of the documentation, but it didn’t work.

Code used:

import igraph
from igraph import plot

g = igraph.Graph([(0,1), (0,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,2), (2,5), (5,0), (6,3), (5,6)])
layout = g.layout("kk")
plot(g, layout=layout)

Errors returned:

line 455, in Plot result = Plot(target, Bbox, background=kwds.get("background", "white")) line 120, in init self. _surface_was_created = not isinstance(target, Cairo.Surface) line 396, in getattr raise Typeerror("plotting not available") Typeerror: plotting not available

Answer 1

For me what worked was a

pip install cairocffi

In any case, check to see if you have the libraries installed.
