fit_to_window

graph-tool
1

I'm using graphviz() to create a dot layout and GraphWindow() to create a
widget in a window of said graph. When I view the graph all the vertices are
overlapping and you can differentiate between them unless you zoom all the
way in and use 'shift' to keep the vertices the same size and zoom back out.
I've tried using fit_to_window, but every time I do it throws an
AttributeError on line 568 of gtk_draw.py
     cr = self.get_window().cairo_create()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'cairo_create'

I create the window as self.win = GraphWindow(etc) so I pass the graph as
self.win.graph.fit_to_window(ink=True, g=None)

What exactly should I do to make the graph widget fit into the window
without the vertices overlapping?

I think the most direct approach would be to re-scale the sizes of the
vertices prior to drawing. You can set arbitrary sizes with the
vertex_size parameter (either to GraphWindow, graph_draw(), etc.)

The fit_to_window() function would only take care of the positions, not
the size of the vertices, so it probably will not solve your
problem. But nevertheless I am curious to understand the error you are
observing. Could you please send a short self-contained example where
this error can be seen?

Best,
