You need the Cairo library and its Python bindings in order to be able to
use plotting in igraph. More details are to be found here:

The dendrogram does not assign vertices into disjoint clusters; it is a
hierarchical decomposition. You have to "cut" the dendrogram at a given
level in order to obtain clusters. If you run community_fastgreedy(), you
obtain a dendrogram which is cut at the level which maximizes the modularity
by default, so you can use its "membership" property to obtain a list that
maps vertex IDs to cluster IDs:

>>> g = Graph.Famous("zachary")
>>> cl = g.community_fastgreedy()
>>> cl.membership

If you want to plot the graph and color the vertices by their cluster
indices, you can use something like this (works for up to 5 clusters):

colors = ["red", "green", "blue", "yellow", "magenta"]
plot(g, vertex_color=[colors[i] for i in cl.membership])
