Transparent Networx Edge Labels

Question

How to set transparent edge labels in NetworkX graph? Currently there is a white background to each label which cuts my edges and overlaps other labels

nx.draw(v29graph,
        nx.get_node_attributes(v29graph,'pos'),
        edge_labels=labels2
        )

nx.draw_networkx_edge_labels(v29graph,
                             pos=nx.get_node_attributes(v29graph,'pos'),
                             edge_labels=labels2
                             )

You can use the bbox argument:

nx.draw_networkx_edge_labels(v29graph,
                             pos=nx.get_node_attributes(v29graph,'pos'),
                             edge_labels=labels2, 
                             bbox=dict(alpha=0)
                             )
