yFiles Graphs for Jupyter
Visualize graph networks with Python

Jupyter connected to yFiles Graphs for Jupyter generates a beautiful graph

The graphing extension that makes your data more usable

For Everyone
For Techies

yFiles Graphs for Jupyter is a free diagram visualization extension for JupyterLab and Jupyter Notebook. You can easily load structures from your favorite Python graph package and benefit from the superior visualization and automatic layouts of our established yFiles SDK.

Gain new insights into your data and create readable representations of your network by utilizing the automatic layout algorithms, inspecting the item’s neighbors and associated data, mapping data to colors, and more.

You can use this extension in the default Jupyter environments, but also in other environments like VS Code or Google Colab.

Looking for an easy way to visualize your Neo4j database? Our thin, open-source wrapper Python widget yFiles Jupyter Graphs for Neo4j provides an easy to use API for this use case.

yFiles Graphs for Jupyter is a free diagram visualization extension for JupyterLab and Jupyter Notebook. It can import structured data from popular Python graph packages like NetworkX, igraph, PyGraphviz, Neo4j, or any structured list of nodes and edges.

Powerful layout algorithms from our established yFiles SDK are included. You can easily apply the whole range – organic, hierarchic, tree, orthogonal, circular, and radial – to your graph structure. A suitable, clear visualization helps you gain a better understanding of your data.

The embedded extension provides interactive features like automatic layouts, item neighborhood and data views, and search capabilities, as well as an API to integrate the high-performance algorithms and specify data-driven mappings for item color or geometry.

Looking for an easy way to visualize your Neo4j database? Our thin, open-source wrapper Python widget yFiles Jupyter Graphs for Neo4j provides an easy to use API for this use case.

Why use yFiles Graphs for Jupyter?

Import and Visualize

Import from popular Python graph packages and create revealing yet concise visualizations. Just pass the graph data of NetworkX, graph-tool, igraph, PyGraphviz, or structured node and edge lists to the widget and interactively explore your network.

Automatic Layouts

Benefit of yFiles' superior automatic layout algorithms. Easily arrange your graph with different layout styles: Hierarchic, organic (force-directed), tree, orthogonal, circular, or radial. Each layout style highlights different structural features of the graph and helps you gain new insights into the data.

Data-driven mappings

yFiles offers customizable, data-driven mappings for nodes and edges. These mappings let you adjust visual aspects of the diagram - like color, scale, and edge thickness - as well as structural aspects like an item label or position.
