Network Analysis with NetworkX

NetworkX is a Python package for the creation, manipulation, and study of the structure, dynamics, and functions of complex networks.

NetworkX has been integrated with PyGraphviz, which is a Python interface to Graphviz -- the excellent open-source drawing tools initiated by AT&T Labs Research).

Here is the notes to build and integrate the Graphviz with NetworkX.

1, Install NetworkX

    I have WinPython 2.7, so installing NetworkX with WinPython's control panel is simple.

2, Install Graphviz

    Install Graphviz in "C:\graphviz"
    Add "C:\graphviz\bin" in PATH environment variable.
    Copy "C:\graphviz\include\graphviz" to "\python-2.7.x\include\"
    Copy cdt.lib and cgraph.lib in "C:\graphviz\lib\release\lib" to "\python-2.7.x\libs\"

3. Configure Visual C++ Compiler

    set VS90COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\

4. Build and Install PyGraphviz

    Open command prompt in WinPython and run
    pip install pygraphviz-1.3rc2.zip

Now import pygraphviz to test and start to use it with NetworkX.
