How can I achieve that the edge labels are (1) always along the edges and (2) manipulate the size of the white circle around the edge labels?

Similar to this graph: text.pdf

Thank you for sharing this issue. I will have a look and see if I find a solution to fix it.

Thanks, that would be great :)

Hi, the easiest way to customize the edge labels is to change the EdgeLabelStyle. The default options can be overwritten by appending new styles (see example below).

In the next version of tikz-network I will add a dedicated command to make this easier for the users.

\documentclass{standalone}

% Used packages
\usepackage{tikz-network}

% Change the default EdgeLabelStyle
\tikzset{EdgeLabelStyle/.append style={ % add styles to te existing EdgeLabelStyle
    rectangle,                          % make the bounding box rectangular
    rounded corners,                    % round the corners of the box
    fill=black!30,                      % add some nice background color
    sloped,                             % align the text with the edge
    inner sep=1pt                       % add a little space around the text
  }}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}

% Vertices
\Vertex[size=.4,color=green,opacity=.9,label=a]{A}
\Vertex[x=4,y=.7,opacity=.5,label=b]{B}

% Edges
\Edge[label={This is a very long text},lw=.5,color=red](A)(B)

\end{tikzpicture}
