Annotations in Network of Plotly

📊 Plotly Python

Hi everyone. Right now I’m creating a visualization of collaborations between some musicians. The goal is to show musicians’ name and their work(collaborated song) beside edges. But I can’t do the later part, it doesn’t show in the place I want. I thought it should be displayed between two nodes.
labels are musicians’ names and labels1 are song name that i want to display.
How can I fix this? Below are my source code.
Thank you.

#iplot(fig)

fig[‘layout’].update(annotations=make_annotations(pos, labels))

iplot(fig)

it shows like this right now

To display the song name at the middle of an edge, you have to compute the mid point of each edge and
define one more trace with mode=‘text’.

Here is your modified code to get your graph with desired annotations:

G=nx.Graph()# G is an empty Graph

my_nodes=range(10)
G.add_nodes_from(my_nodes)
my_edges=[(0,1), (0,2), (0,9), (1,3), (1,5), (2,4), (2, 7), (2, 8), (3,4),(4,5), (5, 6), (7,8),(8,7), (8,9)]
G.add_edges_from(my_edges)
G.add_edge(6,7)

pos=nx.fruchterman_reingold_layout(G)

labels=['Justin Biber', 'DJ Snake','David Guetta', 'MØ', 'Avicii', 'Skrillex', 'Ellie Goulding', 'Calvin Harris', 'Rihanna', 'Drake']

Xn=[pos[k][0] for k in range(len(pos))]
Yn=[pos[k][1] for k in range(len(pos))]

trace_nodes=dict(type='scatter',
                 x=Xn,
                 y=Yn,
                 mode='markers + text',
                 marker=dict(size=14, color='rgb(0,240,0)'),
                 text=labels,
                 hoverinfo='text')

Xe=[]
Ye=[]
xt = []
yt = []
for e in G.edges():
    mid_edge = 0.5*(pos[e[0]]+pos[e[1]])# mid point of the edge e
    xt.append(mid_edge[0])
    yt.append(mid_edge[1])
    Xe.extend([pos[e[0]][0], pos[e[1]][0], None])
    Ye.extend([pos[e[0]][1], pos[e[1]][1], None])

labels1 = ['xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa', 'Text I','Text G', 'Text H', 'Text I','Text G', 'Text H', 'Text I','Text G', 'Text H', 'Text I','Text G', 'Text H', 'Text I']
trace_edges=dict(type='scatter',
                 mode='lines',
                 x=Xe,
                 y=Ye,
                 line=dict(width=1, color='rgb(25,25,25)'),
                 hoverinfo='skip')


trace_text = go.Scatter(x=xt, y=yt, 
                       mode='text',
                       #marker=dict(size=0, color='rgb(25,25,25)'),
                       text=labels1,
                       textposition='bottom center', hoverinfo='text')

layout=dict(title= 'My Graph',
font= dict(family='Balto'),
width=650,
height=650,
autosize=True,
showlegend=False,
xaxis=dict(visible=False),
yaxis=dict(visible=False),
hovermode='closest',
plot_bgcolor='#efecea', #set background color            
)
fig = go.Figure(data=[trace_edges, trace_nodes, trace_text], layout=layout)

Thank you sir, this really helps.
