Adding Image Generated From Another Library As Inset In Matplotlib

I've generated a network figure using vedo library and I'm trying to add this as an inset to a figure generated in matplotlib import networkx as nx import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Solution 1:

I am not familiar with vedo but the general procedure would be to create an inset_axis and plot the image with imshow. However, your code is using networkx which has matplotlib bindings and you can directly do this without vedo

EDIT: code edited for 3d plotting

import networkx as nx
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

G = nx.gnm_random_graph(n=10, m=15, seed=1)
nxpos = nx.spring_layout(G, dim=3, seed=1)

nxpts = [nxpos[pt] for pt insorted(nxpos)]
nx_lines = [(nxpts[i], nxpts[j]) for i, j in G.edges()]

# node values
values = [[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
          [30, 80, 10, 79, 70, 60, 75, 78, 65, 10],
          [1, .30, .10, .79, .70, .60, .75, .78, .65, .90]]
time = [0.0, 0.1, 0.2]  # in seconds


fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(
    [1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3],
    'go-',
    label='line 1',
    linewidth=2
 )

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import (Axes3D)
from matplotlib.transforms import Bbox
rect = [.6, 0, .5, .5]
bbox = Bbox.from_bounds(*rect)
inax = fig.add_axes(bbox, projection = '3d')
# inax = add_inset_axes(, #                       ax_target = ax, #                       fig = fig, projection = '3d')# inax.axis('off')# set angle
angle = 25
inax.view_init(10, angle)

# hide axes, make transparent# inax.set_facecolor('none')# inax.grid('off')import numpy as np

# plot 3d
seen = set()
for i, j in G.edges():
    x = np.stack((nxpos[i], nxpos[j]))
    inax.plot(*x.T, color = 'k')
    if i notin seen:
        inax.scatter(*x[0], color = 'skyblue')
        seen.add(i)
    if j notin seen:
        inax.scatter(*x[1], color = "skyblue")
        seen.add(j)

fig.show()
