MTG to Networkx

[Money-eng]

I work with MTGs generated from RSML files (RSML module) that represent complete root architectures of several plants. For certain analyses, I would like to convert these MTGs into NetworkX graphs while :

• Preserving the geometric coordinates (x, y) of each node.
• Preserving attributes (e.g. time of appearance, radius, ...).
• Respecting topology (hierarchy and parent-child edges).

Is there a utility available for this conversion that can be used straight away, either in OpenAlea or in a third-party project?

Thanks in advance.

Sure.
But we can also convert RSML into networkx rather than converting it to MTG then to networkx.
What do you think?

I have multiple plant instances in each RSML file, so I thought it would be better to use the MTG to NetworkX tool, as the multi-scale representation is a cool feature (sub-MTG function) to handle them separately.
But extracting multiple graphs from the RSML files would also work.

Great, I will do both!

Hi @pradal,
Just checking in to see if there’s an update on this issue. Let me know if I can help in any way!
Thanks again

I need an example of the type of RSML file you want to convert.
Plus the list of properties you want to export (all properties or a subset given explicitly).
Send lme the file by email
