Re: [igraph] igraph visualization

Thank you for your response. I tried the Homebrew before and it didn't work. Here is what I receive when I issue the command. Do you think this is due to the gcc outdated compiler?

Ahmeds-MacBook-Pro:~ ahamedCOM$ brew install py2cairo

Warning: Your Xcode (4.6) is outdated

Please update to Xcode 4.6.3.

Xcode can be updated from the App Store.

Warning: You seem to have osx-gcc-installer installed.

Homebrew doesn't support osx-gcc-installer. It causes many builds to fail and

is an unlicensed distribution of really old Xcode files.

Please install the CLT or Xcode 4.6.3.

Warning: It appears you have MacPorts or Fink installed.

Software installed with other package managers causes known problems for

Homebrew. If a formula fails to build, uninstall MacPorts/Fink and try again.

Hi,

I have been using Cairo 1.12.16 and the corresponding Python interface happily on a Mac ever since OS X 10.6. All you have to do to make the plotting work is to install it somehow. I highly recommend using Homebrew for this; see the following page:

http://brew.sh

Once you installed Homebrew, you can simply type “brew install py2cairo” in the command line; Homebrew will download and compile Cairo and its Python interface as well as all the required dependencies. If you still want to go through all the hassle manually, here’s a script that’s supposd to work:

Alternatively, there are pre-compiled binaries for Cairo:

(Note that the Cairo framework as published above requires the FreeType framework and the UnixImageIO framework so install those first). The Cairo framework in the above page should contain the Cairo module as well.

All the best,
