Coloring nodes in temporal networks

[cirillodavide]

It seems that coloring nodes is allowed only for simple networks but not for temporal networks.

n = pp.Network()
n.add_edge('a', 'b')
n.add_edge('b', 'a')
n.add_edge('a', 'c')
n.add_edge('b', 'c')
n.add_edge('c', 'd')
n.add_edge('d', 'c')

style = {
    'node_color' : {'a': '#000000'}
}

pp.visualisation.plot(n, **style)

n = pp.TemporalNetwork()
n.add_edge('a', 'b',1)
n.add_edge('b', 'a',1)
n.add_edge('a', 'c',2)
n.add_edge('b', 'c',2)
n.add_edge('c', 'd',3)
n.add_edge('d', 'c',4)

style = {
    'node_color' : {'a': '#000000'}
}

pp.visualisation.plot(n, **style)

Thanks for the issue report!

Yes, we are actually working on that and there is already a working prototype of pathpy3 that has this and many other cool features. Essentially, in pathpy3 you can add arbitrary properties to networks, nodes, and links and in temporal networks those properties are also animated. Also, apart from JS-based animations you can generate high-quality tikz and PDF visualizations with many powerful styling options (powered by network2tikz).

If you want to give it a try, just contact us. We can help you to get started.
