…ng tests - Enhanced the `plot_network_clusters` function with support for interactive graph visualizations using the Pyvis library. - Introduced the `interractive` argument (default: `False`) to toggle between static and interactive modes. - Added support for saving interactive visualizations to an HTML file (`output_file` argument, default: "interactive.html"). - Enabled dynamic handling of node sizes, labels, edge widths, and edge weights in the interactive mode. - Updated the unit tests in `test_viz_network.py`: - Added `test_interactive_cluster` to validate interactive visualization generation. - Ensured that the generated HTML file is created and removed cleanly after the test.
- Updated dependencies across the project to include pyvis: - Added `pyvis` to `requirements.docs.txt` for documentation builds. - Added `pyvis` to `requirements.txt` for documentation builds. - Added `pyvis` to `environment.yml` for Conda environments. - Added `pyvis` to `conda/meta.yaml` for Conda packaging. This ensures that the Pyvis library is properly integrated for supporting interactive graph visualizations.
…ctive functions The network visualization code has been restructured to improve maintainability and separation of concerns: - Extract static matplotlib rendering into _draw_static_network() - Extract interactive Pyvis rendering into _draw_interactive_network() - Simplify main plot_network_clusters() function to handle common initialization and delegation Benefits: - Better code organization and reduced complexity - Easier to maintain and debug each rendering mode separately - Simplified testing of each visualization method - Reduced cyclomatic complexity of main function No breaking changes to the public API.
- Restructured networks.py for better readability and organization. - Fixed and enhanced function documentation for improved clarity.
- Introduced physics buttons to control interactive graph behavior. - Added buttons to toggle physics simulation (e.g., enable/disable). - Enhanced user interaction by allowing physics adjustments in real-time. - Implemented a selection menu for graph elements: - Added a dropdown menu for selecting nodes or clusters in the visualization. - Provided easy navigation and manipulation of graph elements.

Overview
We've extended the graph visualization functionality to support interactive visualization using the Pyvis library while maintaining full compatibility with the existing NetworkX implementation. This enhancement allows users to explore and interact with graphs in a HTML-based interface, particularly beneficial for analyzing smaller or sparse networks.

Interactive Visualization with Pyvis
Refactoring & Documentation
Performance Considerations
The changes maintain the existing API while adding powerful new visualization capabilities. The Pyvis library was chosen for its robust documentation and active maintenance, making it a reliable long-term solution for interactive graph visualization.
