Dijkstra's Shortest Path Visualization

This Python program demonstrates Dijkstra's algorithm for finding the shortest path in a graph. It uses NetworkX and Matplotlib for visualization.

Features

• Graph Representation: Adjacency matrix.
• Dijkstra's Algorithm: Computes the shortest path.
• Visualization: Highlights the shortest path in red.

Installation

Install the required libraries using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

• Clone the repository or copy the code.
• Run the program:

python dijkstra_visualization.py

• Enter the source and destination nodes (A-I) when prompted.

Code Summary

Graph Class

• Initialization: Sets up the graph with a specified number of vertices.
• Dijkstra's Algorithm: Computes shortest paths.
• Visualization: Displays the graph with the shortest path highlighted.

Main Function

• Initializes the graph.
• Takes user input for source and destination.
• Runs Dijkstra's algorithm.
• Visualizes the graph.

Example

$ python dijkstra_visualization.py
Available nodes:
0: A
1: B
2: C
3: D
4: E
5: F
6: G
7: H
8: I
Enter the source node (A - I): A
Enter the destination node (A - I): E
Shortest Path from A to E:
A -> H -> G -> F -> E
The weight is: 21
