# qiskit.visualization.plot\_coupling\_map
<Function id="qiskit.visualization.plot_coupling_map" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.22/qiskit/visualization/gate_map.py" signature="plot_coupling_map(num_qubits, qubit_coordinates, coupling_map, figsize=None, plot_directed=False, label_qubits=True, qubit_size=None, line_width=4, font_size=None, qubit_color=None, qubit_labels=None, line_color=None, font_color='w', ax=None, filename=None)">
Plots an arbitrary coupling map of qubits (embedded in a plane).
**Parameters**
* **num\_qubits** (*int*) The number of qubits defined and plotted.
* **qubit\_coordinates** (*List\[List\[int]]*) A list of two-element lists, with entries of each nested list being the planar coordinates in a 0-based square grid where each qubit is located.
* **coupling\_map** (*List\[List\[int]]*) A list of two-element lists, with entries of each nested list being the qubit numbers of the bonds to be plotted.
* **figsize** (*tuple*) Output figure size (wxh) in inches.
* **plot\_directed** (*bool*) Plot directed coupling map.
* **label\_qubits** (*bool*) Label the qubits.
* **qubit\_size** (*float*) Size of qubit marker.
* **line\_width** (*float*) Width of lines.
* **font\_size** (*int*) Font size of qubit labels.
* **qubit\_color** (*list*) A list of colors for the qubits
* **qubit\_labels** (*list*) A list of qubit labels
* **line\_color** (*list*) A list of colors for each line from coupling\_map.
* **font\_color** (*str*) The font color for the qubit labels.
* **ax** (*Axes*) A Matplotlib axes instance.
* **filename** (*str*) file path to save image to.
**Returns**
A Matplotlib figure instance.
**Return type**
Figure
**Raises**
* **MissingOptionalLibraryError** if matplotlib not installed.
* **QiskitError** If length of qubit labels does not match number of qubits.
**Example**
```python
from qiskit.visualization import plot_coupling_map
%matplotlib inline
num_qubits = 8
qubit_coordinates = [[0, 1], [1, 1], [1, 0], [1, 2], [2, 0], [2, 2], [2, 1], [3, 1]]
coupling_map = [[0, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 5], [4, 5], [5, 6], [2, 4], [6, 7]]
plot_coupling_map(num_qubits, qubit_coordinates, coupling_map)
```
