negmas.plots

Module for plotting functionality using plotly.

negmas.plots.default_colorizer(t: TraceElement)

Computes opacity based on the fraction of negotiators accepting the offer.

Parameters:

t – The trace element containing offer and response information.

negmas.plots.opacity_colorizer(t: TraceElement, alpha: float = 1.0)

Returns a constant opacity value, ignoring the trace element.

Parameters:

• t – The trace element (unused).

• alpha – The constant opacity value to return (0.0 to 1.0).

Plots a negotiation run from saved trace data (without a live mechanism).

Parameters:

• trace – List of trace elements recording all offers made during negotiation.

• names – Display names for negotiators (defaults to IDs if None).

• save_fig – If True, save the figure to disk.

• path – Directory path where to save the figure (if save_fig is True).

• fig_name – Filename for the saved figure. If provided with an extension (e.g., “plot.png”), that extension is used. If provided without an extension or None, the image_format parameter determines the extension.

• image_format – Image format to use when auto-generating filenames (default: webp). Supported formats: webp, png, jpg, jpeg, svg, pdf. Only used if fig_name is None or doesn’t have an extension.
