'Auto color with cMAP
I have a graph that I am trying to implement community detection on (so each node is in a specific community). I want to visualize the nodes and edges with each color being a different community. In order to do this, I need to implement a color mapping per community.
Is there a way to automate what colors are selected (for example, if I need 400 colors how do I get a list of 400 colors to distinguish the different communities)?
Example of what I'm doing for a mapping with 15 colors:
cmap = {
0 : 'maroon',
1 : 'teal',
2 : 'limegreen',
3 : 'orange',
4 : 'green',
5 : 'yellow',
6 : 'blue',
7 : 'purple',
8 : 'gold',
9 : 'darkturquoise',
10: 'pink',
11: 'white',
12: 'grey',
13: 'beige',
14: 'brown',
15: 'black'
}
G = nx.Graph() #graph of nodes and edges earlier in the data
comms = community_louvain.best_partition(G)
node_cmap = [cmap[v] for _,v in comms.items()]
pos = nx.spring_layout(G)
nx.draw(G, pos, node_size = 10, alpha = 0.8, node_color=node_cmap)
plt.show()
