Interactive Visualization and Plotting with Julia
By :
This section will showcase the basics of visualizing graphs in Julia using the GraphPlot, GraphRecipes, and GraphMakie packages. Other packages aim to plot graphs in Julia that we will not cover in this book; among those, there’s TikzGraphs, SankeyPlots, and EcologicalNetworksPlots. Different packages have different strengths; let’s focus on the three that we will explore in this chapter. First, we have the GraphPlot package, which has a straightforward interface. It has a single function, named gplot, with a few keyword arguments that are useful for quickly visualizing graphs. GraphPlot, similar to Gadfly, uses Compose to render the images. Therefore, it produces nice-looking bi-dimensional plots.
Then, we have the GraphRecipes package, which contains a collection of Plots recipes. You can benefit from the different Plots backends when working with this package. GraphRecipes also offers a function for visualizing graphs: graphplot. This...
