Generic Coordinates

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

To avoid having to 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):
