AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'graphviz_layout' with networkx 1.11

I'm trying to draw some DAGs using networkx 1.11 but I'm facing some errors, here's the test:

import networkx as nx

print nx.__version__

G = nx.DiGraph()
G.add_node(1,level=1)
G.add_node(2,level=2)
G.add_node(3,level=2)
G.add_node(4,level=3)

G.add_edge(1,2)
G.add_edge(1,3)
G.add_edge(2,4)

import pylab as plt
nx.draw_graphviz(G, node_size=1600, cmap=plt.cm.Blues,
                 node_color=range(len(G)),
                 prog='dot')
plt.show()

And here's the traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\sources\personal\python\framework\stackoverflow\test_dfs.py", line 69, in <module>
    prog='dot')
  File "d:\virtual_envs\py2711\lib\site-packages\networkx\drawing\nx_pylab.py", line 984, in draw_graphviz
    pos = nx.drawing.graphviz_layout(G, prog)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'graphviz_layout'

I'm using python 2.7.11 x64, networkx 1.11 and I've installed graphviz-2.38 having dot available in PATH. What am I missing?

Once it works, how could i draw the graph with nodes which:

  • Use white background color
  • Have labels inside
  • Have directed arrows
  • Are arranged nicely either automatically or manually

Something similar to the below image

As you can see in that image, nodes are aligned really nicely

The package layout has changed in later versions of networkx. You can import the graphivz_layout function explicitly.

import networkx as nx
import pylab as plt
from networkx.drawing.nx_agraph import graphviz_layout


G = nx.DiGraph()
G.add_node(1,level=1)
G.add_node(2,level=2)
G.add_node(3,level=2)
G.add_node(4,level=3)

G.add_edge(1,2)
G.add_edge(1,3)
G.add_edge(2,4)

nx.draw(G, pos=graphviz_layout(G), node_size=1600, cmap=plt.cm.Blues,
        node_color=range(len(G)),
        prog='dot')
plt.show()
