python - Plot NetworkX Graph from Adjacency Matrix in CSV file

Question

I have been battling with this problem for a little bit now, I know this is very simple - but I have little experience with Python or NetworkX. My question is very simple, I am trying to plot a large dataset (about 200 rows/columns) of a matrix that looks like this. The first row and first column are identical.

  A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K
A,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0
B,1,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0
C,1,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0

It just a matrix showing how people are connected, and all I want is to import and plot this csv file, with it's corresponding labels in NetworkX.

I have this file (people.csv), and looking at previous answers here, it seems the best way to do this is by putting the data in an array with numpy.

There seems to be a problem with this:

import numpy as np
import networkx as nx
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from numpy import genfromtxt
import numpy as np

mydata = genfromtxt('mouse.csv', delimiter=',')

I get the following output:

File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/numpy/lib/npyio.py", line 1272, in genfromtxt
  fhd = iter(np.lib._datasource.open(fname, 'rbU'))
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/numpy/lib/_datasource.py", line 145, in open
  return ds.open(path, mode)
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/numpy/lib/_datasource.py", line 472, in open
  found = self._findfile(path)

  if self.exists(name):

Answer 1

I made a small csv called mycsv.csv that has the following:

,a,b,c,d
a,0,1,0,1
b,1,0,1,0
c,0,1,0,1
d,1,0,1,0

You don't have a ',' as the first character on the first row, but instead you have a space, so if this is an error on my part let me know. The general idea will be the same. Read in the csv as such:

from numpy import genfromtxt
import numpy as np
mydata = genfromtxt('mycsv.csv', delimiter=',')
print(mydata)
print(type(mydata))

This prints:

[[ nan  nan  nan  nan  nan]
 [ nan   0.   1.   0.   1.]
 [ nan   1.   0.   1.   0.]
 [ nan   0.   1.   0.   1.]
 [ nan   1.   0.   1.   0.]]
<type 'numpy.ndarray'>

Now that we have the csv read in as a numpy array we need to extract just the adjacency matrix:

adjacency = mydata[1:,1:]
print(adjacency)

This prints:

[[ 0.  1.  0.  1.]
 [ 1.  0.  1.  0.]
 [ 0.  1.  0.  1.]
 [ 1.  0.  1.  0.]]

You can just slice your numpy array as needed if my small example isn't exactly as yours.

To plot the graph you will need to import matplotlib and networkx:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import networkx as nx

def show_graph_with_labels(adjacency_matrix, mylabels):
    rows, cols = np.where(adjacency_matrix == 1)
    edges = zip(rows.tolist(), cols.tolist())
    gr = nx.Graph()
    gr.add_edges_from(edges)
    nx.draw(gr, node_size=500, labels=mylabels, with_labels=True)
    plt.show()

show_graph_with_labels(adjacency, make_label_dict(get_labels('mycsv.csv')))
