Generic CoordinatesΒΆ

If there are no geocoordinates in a network, generic coordinates can be created. There are two possibilities:

  1. igraph (http:/igraph.org/python) (recommended) based on
    • python-igraph
    • pycairo
  2. graphviz (http:/www.graphviz.org) based on
    • networkx
    • graphviz

Two avoid having two compile C libraries, precompiled wheels are available on https://www.lfd.uci.edu/%7Egohlke/pythonlibs/ (unofficial)

Generically created geocoordinates can then be plotted in the same way as real geocoordinates.

Example plot with mv_oberrhein network from the pandapower.networks package as geographical plan (respect_switches=False):

and as structural plan (respect_switches=True):
