Question

I am searching an example where a space time graph is drawn. I went through Graphviz but cannot find relevant example. I have to plot a graph of a computer network and the network is assumed to change after 10 seconds. I can plot for one scenario but now I need to combine different graphs obtained at different time as a Space Time Graph.
I am using python for plotting But any relevant examples with any tools like Graphviz, matplotlib, networkx,etc will be helpful.

So any advice and guidelines regarding this is highly appreciated.

Thank You

Thank you tcaswell for your reply. I have already worked on something, so if I cannot make it that way I will dig into the way you have suggested. For now I have:

But I want something like this:

The .dot file code used by GraphViz to create this image:

graph {
    rankdir=LR;
    subgraph cluster01 {
        label="t=0"
        a0 [label="A"];
        a1 [label="B"];
        a2 [label="C"];
        a5 [label="E"];
        a0 -- a1;
        a1 -- a2 ;
        a2 -- a0;
    };

    subgraph cluster02
    {
        label="t=10"
        b0 [label="A"];
        b5 [label="E"];
        b1 [label="B"];
        b2 [label="C"];

        b0 -- b1;
        b2 -- b5;
    };

    a0--b0 [style=dotted];
    a1--b1 [style=dotted];
    a2--b2 [style=dotted];
    a5--b5 [style=dotted];
}

I think I am not able to play around with the “rankdir” properly.
