  Very powerful , Can generate ER、SF、 Small world and other networks , Directed network, etc .

2、graphviz

Gallery | Graphviz

Graphviz Is an open source graphics visualization software . Graph visualization is a method of representing structural information as abstract graphs and network graphs . It's on the Internet 、 Bioinformatics 、 Software Engineering 、 Database and web Design 、 Machine learning and other technical fields have important applications in visual interface .
Graphviz The layout program describes graphics in simple text language , And in a useful format ( Such as web The image of the page and SVG) Generate graphics ;PDF Or postscript , For inclusion in other documents ; Or display in an interactive graphics browser .Graphviz There are many useful features for specific charts , For example, color. 、 typeface 、 Table node layout 、 Row style 、 Options for hyperlinks and custom shapes .

 

 3、gnuplot

A scientific mapping software

Very, very powerful 、 Be similar to MATLAB, But there are a lot of demo, And it's convenient .

4、graph-tool

  Professional drawing . chart , The Internet .

Graph-tool is an efficient Python module for manipulation and statistical analysis of graphs (a.k.a. networks). Contrary to most other Python modules with similar functionality, the core data structures and algorithms are implemented in C++, making extensive use of template metaprogramming, based heavily on the Boost Graph Library. This confers it a level of performance that is comparable (both in memory usage and computation time) to that of a pure C/C++ library.

 

 5、matplotlib and seaborn

It's quite extensive , No more details .

But I use it most hahaha .
