+
+==============================
+Visualising graphs with iplotx
+==============================
+``iplotx`` (https://iplotx.readthedocs.io) is a library for visualisation of graphs/networks
+with direct compatibility with both igraph and NetworkX. It uses ``matplotlib`` behind the
+scenes so the results are compatible with the current igraph matplotlib backend and many
+additional chart types (e.g. bar charts, annotations).
+
+Compared to the standard visualisations shipped with igraph, ``iplotx`` offers:
+
+- More styling options
+- More consistent behaviour across DPI resolutions and backends
+- More consistent matplotlib artists for plot editing and animation
