plot_notebook

plot_notebook(network, node_color=0, edge_color=0, node_size=1, node_scale=20, edge_scale=5, colormap='viridis')

Visualize a network in 3D using Plotly.

The pores and throats are scaled and colored by their properties. The final figure can be rotated and zoomed.

Parameters:

• network (Network) – The network to visualize

• node_color (ndarray) – An array of values used for coloring the pores. If not given, the lowest value of the employed colormap is assigned to all markers.

• edge_color (ndarray) – An array of values used for coloring the throats. If not given, the lowest value of the employed colormap is assigned to all lines.

• node_size (ndarray) – An array of values controlling the size of the markers. If not given all markers will be the same size

• node_scale (scalar) – A scaler to resize the markers

• edge_scale (scalar) – A scaler to the line thickness

• colormap (str) – The colormap to use

Returns:

fig – The graph object containing the generated plots. The object has several useful methods.

Return type:

Plotly graph object

Notes

Important

a) This does not work in Spyder. It should only be called from a Jupyter Notebook.

b) This is only meant for relatively small networks. For proper visualization use Paraview.
