How can one set the size of an igraph plot?

igraph, plot, python, r

Solution

From thie python igraph tutorial

Layout objects also contain some useful methods to translate, scale or rotate the coordinates in a batch. However, the primary utility of Layout objects is that you can pass them to the plot() function along with the graph to obtain a 2D drawing

visual_style = {}
visual_style["layout"] = g.layout()
visual_style["bbox"] = (300, 300)
visual_style["margin"] = 10
plot(g, **visual_style)

Problem

I'm currently plotting my graphs like this: ``` ig.plot(graph, target=file, vertex_color=membership, vertex_label=[index for index, value in enumerate(graph.vs)], vertex_frame_width=0, palette=ig.ClusterColoringPalette(len(set(membership)) + 3)) ``` The plot is output to a PDF file on a single page. It looks decent but the nodes are too crowded. Is there a way to pull the nodes apart so that I can actually see all the edges? I was thinking of increasing the size of the plot but I don't know how to do that. Here's how it looks right now:
