Parameters

simple_plot

Parameter	Datatype	Value Range	Explanation
net	pandapipesNet		Network to be plotted
respect_valves	boolean	True / False	Respect valves if artificial geodata is created, note: this Flag is ignored if plot_line_switches is True
pipe_width	float	\(>\) 0	Specifies the pipe width
junction_size	float	\(>\) 0	Relative size of junctions to plot
ext_grid_size	float	\(>\) 0	Relative size of ext_grids to plot
plot_sinks	boolean	True / False	Flag to decide whether sink symbols should be drawn
plot_sources	boolean	True / False	Flag to decide whether source symbols should be drawn
sink_size	float	\(>\) 0	Relative size of sinks to plot
source_size	float	\(>\) 0	Relative size of sources to plot
valve_size	float	\(>\) 0	Relative size of valves to plot
heat_exchanger_size	float	\(>\) 0	Relative size of heat exchanger to plot
valve_distance	float	\(>\) 0	Relative distance of the valve to its corresponding junction
scale_size	boolean	True / False	Flag if junction_size, ext_grid_size, valve_size- and distance will be scaled with respect to grid mean distances
junction_color	string / tuple		Junction color
pipe_color	string / tuple		Pipe color
ext_grid_color	string / tuple		External grid color
library	string	“igraph” / “networkx”	Library name to create generic coordinates (case of missing geodata)
show_plot	boolean	True / False	If True, show plot at the end of plotting
ax	object		matplotlib axis to plot
