Ermmmm, what is iplot?

What limitation did you hit with the bounding box? I am not aware of any (yet).

tkplot is an R-specific extension to igraph, so it's implemented in the
R interface only. There are no plans to port it to the Python interface at the
moment. At one point we were considering coming up with a browser-based graph
editor that would communicate with igraph behind the scenes so you could edit
the graph in a web browser using d3.js, but this has stalled a while ago.
